Labor Management Procedures Bangladesh Road Safety Project (P173019) (English)

The LMP assesses the potential risks and impacts of assignment of labor for the implementation of the project activities by the Implementing Agencies (IAs) and addresses them through mitigation measures in line with ESSs and Bangladesh Labor policies and provisions. [...] Given the size of the project, the potential Environmental and Social (E&S) risks and impacts, the capacity of the implementing agencies to manage and mitigate the E&S risks and the context under which the project is being implemented, the E&S assessment has determined the overall E&S risk to be Substantial for this project. [...] The project will be guided by the inter-ministerial Bangladesh Road Safety Project Steering Committee (PSC) chaired by the Principal Secretary to Honorable Prime Minister and represented by the Secretaries of the MoRTB, MoHFW and MoHA including representation from the ERD and Planning Commission. [...] The PIC will provide the linkages and updates of the project-financed activities to the secretariat of the National Road Safety Council (NRSC). [...] The contractors and any consulting firms engaged for the PIUs will be contractually obligated to maintain updated information on all categories of contracted workers, especially the non-local workers and periodically share the same with the PIUs, which in turn will be available with the national PIU accessible to the parties interested including the World Bank.
