Commentary: Factory Workers Are Their Own First Line of Defense

"Brands and factory owners must stop relying on one-off compliance audits and should instead seek to address the root causes of fire risks themselves...Instead of a mere slap on the wrist...brands should implement a model of proactive factory assessment to truly evaluate the immediate issues and long-term dangers workers face...Factory owners should reform safety measures, but until they do, workers should organize their own drills, list of demands and checklists...Workers' voices must be heard...The striking lesson of the recent tragedies is that too many factory owners still treat fire safety measures as optional. No factory owner should be able to deny their responsibility to protect the very workers who enable their business to exist."
