Suppliers whose business with Accord signatory companies has been terminated for
reasons of workplace safety.
Under the Accord (article 21), each signatory company shall require that its suppliers in
Bangladesh participate fully in the inspection, remediation, health and safety and, where
applicable, training activities. If a supplier fails to do so, the signatory will promptly implement a
notice and warning process leading to termination of the business relationship if these efforts do
not succeed.
Examples of a failure to participate include: refusal to temporarily evacuate the factory; lack of
progress in finalizing corrective action plans or executing required safety renovations, refusal to
resolve worker complaints on safety issues; lack of cooperation with Accord trainers, case
handlers and engineers.
Factories listed below have gone through a process of notice and warning by the Accord and the
signatory companies, but continue to inadequately participate in the Accord program. Accord
signatory companies are required to terminate business with this suppliers factories in such
cases.
A terminated factory may requalify for placement of business by an Accord signatory company
after a period of no less than 24 months from the date of termination.
To requalify after such period, the factory is required to demonstrate that all remediation from
the Accord initial inspection has been satisfactorily completed and that an acceptable, time
bound corrective action plan is in place to correct any new findings identified after the initial
inspection. It shall be the Accord Chief Safety Inspector who determines if initial remediation
has been satisfactorily completed through an Accord verification inspection. The onus shall be
on the terminated factory, after the above-described 24 month period, to inform the Accord CSI
that remediation has been completed and to request an Accord verification inspection.
Factories that have successfully completed the remediation stemming from Accord initial
inspections
Chief Safety Inspector Brad Loewen hands out letters of recognition to remediated factories
"We have received a lot of support from Accord for successful implementation of CAPs"
"We are pleased to have completed remediation for the safety of the workers in our factory"

Our remediation work has been completed but we think this is an on-going process"
This page provides an overview of factories where the Accord has verified that all items
identified in the Accord initial fire, electrical and structural inspections have been successfully
remediated. Factories that have achieved this important milestone receive a letter of recognition
from the Accord. See here an example of such a letter.
Follow up inspections at these factories may identify new safety findings which would also need
remediating. Such findings, subsequent to the initial inspection, will be included in the current
online CAP for the factory.
