Safety Push in Bangladesh's Outdoor Advertising Industry
What happened
The outdoor advertising industry in Bangladesh is expanding rapidly, with the addition of modern digital display boards. However, the absence of a specific national advertising policy has led to unplanned installations, increasing risks to workers and technical staff. The Bangladesh Billboard Advertising Owners Association organized a workshop on October 15 to address these safety and security concerns.
