On the 12th of September, Ershadul Huq fell to his death while dismantling a ship in Chittagong. At least 8 workers have now died due to workplace accidents in Bangladesh this year alone. Apart from fatal accidents, many more workers are routinely injured and many more face daily hazards from toxic substances like diesels, fumes and asbestos. The situation for ship breaking workers in India and Pakistan is also very bad.
