This will mark the first time that an international training workshop addressing the crucial industrial needs of fire safety and risk assessment is being organised in Pakistan. WRAP is conducting these fire safety workshops in Pakistan in partnership with Accordia Global Compliance Group, and in collaboration with several Pakistani trade bodies and associations like SITE Association Karachi, Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers & Exporters Association (PRGMEA) and Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers Association (PHMA).
"Since deadly fire broke in garment factories in Lahore and Karachi, the international buyer is reluctant in making trade relationship with those of the manufacturers and sellers in Pakistan who are not compliant with international fire safety rules and standards. The recent tragic fires in the region also serve as sad reminders of how critical this issue is. We have seen a lot of positive results with the fire safety training we developed for Bangladesh and are looking forward to launching this highly successful course in Pakistan. WRAP is dedicated to promoting safe, lawful, humane, and ethical manufacturing and to helping factories prevent such tragedies from occurring," said Avedis Seferian, WRAP's President & CEO.-PR
