    Executive Summary
    To reduce the fire hazard in RMG we should look into the issue in a holistic approach both
    from planning and design point of view. Because a well-designed factory will not be able to
    ensure the ultimate fire safety in RMG of Bangladesh. We need to consider the planning
    approach accordingly. My survey and analysis represented that the factories in the well planned
    and designed EPZ, Export Processing Zone have that capacity to reduce the fire hazard risk into
    that zone and they have very few record of fire hazard whereas the factories of Non-EPZ has
    the devastating hazard record even if the factory was properly designed. Hameem factory fire
    record is the example in this regards. As the factory was situated in the Non Export Processing
    Zone it had that limitation for fire vehicle access from the nearest fire station (about 6km far
    from the factory and the travel time is 11 to 13 minutes to reach to the factory by car) it took
    25 minutes to reach the location due to traffic jam, narrow and unplanned road network. Thus
    the emergency response time was increased. In some cases response time increased up one to
    two hours to reach to the location. Moreover; due to lack of standard fire separation distance
    between the adjacent building and community, fire spread rapidly and increase causality.
    According to statistic there are only 101 RMG factories are situated in the DEPZ where as we
    have 1654 factories are located in the Non-Export processing zone and most of these factories
    are developed in unplanned way in to the commercial and residential area. Most of them have
    not the proper facilities, equipment & fire safety practice. This paper has that suggestion to
    reduce the fire hazard in unplanned and non-designed factories through planning and designing
    approach. Although it is not possible to ensure the standard planning with same facilities like
    EPZ factories but it will be possible to improve the existing safety conditions and practice to
    ensure more safety for the millions of poor workers.
