Oxfam has also recommended that manufacturers and sourcing companies should recognize the right of independent worker organizations and employers to engage freely in collective bargaining (including bargaining on wages at the factory level).
It also suggested that manufacturers and sourcing companies should provide regular training for workers on occupational health and safety and fire/electrical safety, allowing and supporting the formation of worker health and safety committees that include both men and women representatives.
Oxfam's recommendations also include develop mechanisms for workers to anonymously report safety hazards to factory management and for management to report back through the safety committee or union on which issues have been raised and how they have been resolved and ensure accessible, effective and efficient mechanisms for addressing workers' grievances.
