Abstract

The article introduces the study on applying some solutions to improve the working environment at a garment enterprise in the South Central Coast region and the economic-technical efficiency of the application of those solutions. After assessing the current status of the working environment and workers’ health of the enterprise, the authors have advised enterprises to apply a number of solutions to improve working conditions such as establishing an occupational safety and health (OSH) management system; designing anti-heat ventilation system by exhaust fan system creating negative pressure in the workshop and cooling by Cooling Pad andre-organizing the lighting system. After more than a year of implementing these solutions, when re-evaluating, they all give positive results: reducing the temperature by 3-5.50C, dust concentration from 0.15-0.45 mg/m3, increasing light intensity levels to 150-280 lux. As a result, the company’s revenue also increased.
