Learning health and safety lessons and crucially, strengthening workers' voices are key elements to a safe garment sector.

In the year since the Rana Plaza collapse, what progress has the Accord made in promoting a safe and healthy ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh?

What has been learnt and is still being learnt by the garment sector as a whole? What is the bigger picture?

The collapse of Rana Plaza on 24 April 2013 saw the loss of more than 1,100 Bangladeshi workers. Our thoughts are with all those who suffered loss and injury as we mark the one year anniversary and ask what has changed since that horrific day.

Last night’s 'Exposure: Fashion Factories Undercover', broadcast on ITV, was challenging viewing. The one hour documentary took viewers behind-the-scenes within several Bangladesh garment factories, with hidden cameras capturing truly shocking labour rights abuses.

Events in Bangladesh last week illustrate the appalling consequences of trade unions not being able to speak up for workers' safety, says the TUC's Rosa Crawford. The collapse of Rana Plaza claimed an estimated 380 lives.
