The Accord on fire and building safety in Bangladesh has severed ties with another seven garment suppliers for their failure to implement workplace safety measures, said a report by just-style portal.
It quoted Accord as stating that it has terminated business with Haesong Group, Tuba Garments Ltd, Rock Knitwear Ltd, Riverside Apparels, MS Attires Ltd, Anam Garments Ltd, and Ashulia Apparels.
These factories were inspected for fire, electrical and structural safety by the Accord in 2014, but failed to make adequate progress, according to the just-style report published on Wednesday.
The factories will not be allowed to produce for Accord signatory companies until they meet the conditions for requalification.
The moves come as Accord continues to conduct independent engineering inspections for fire, electrical and building structural safety at all factories in Bangladesh producing for its member companies.
In September and October, Accord terminated business with a total of 10 readymade garment suppliers, said just-style.com, an online news, insight and research portal for the apparel and textile industry.
Accord Bangladesh is a platform of brands, retailers and trade unions which was formed after the 2013 Rana Plaza tragedy to build a safe and healthy garment industry.
Accord confirmed last month that its members were in discussions over whether the group will extend its stay in the country after the 2018 deadline in order to complete its remediation work.
