Congratulations! On behalf of the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety, I am writing regarding the
results of the CAP Closure Verification Visit of Zyta Apparels Ltd. FFC ID 9528 conducted by the Alliance
on 19 August 2017. Your CAP Closure Verification Visit Final Training Assessment was completed on
19 August 2017. Based on the findings of that visit, your factory’s status has been rated as “Substantial
Completion.” This mean that your factory has substantially completed the initial Corrective Action
Plan (CAP) and currently is in good standing with respect to required training. This also represents the
starting point for creating a sustainable culture of safety within your factory.
The CAP Closure Verification Visit was conducted to confirm the completion of corrective actions to
remediate noncompliance with the Alliance Standard in each of three critical areas: structural
integrity, electrical safety, and fire safety that were identified during initial inspections; the structural
integrity inspections were conducted on 04 March 2014 by Walter P. Moore, fire safety inspection
was conducted on 21 April 2013 by CCRD and electrical safety inspection was conducted on 22 June
2014 by Bureau Veritas. Additionally, during this visit an assessment of implementation and impact
of Basic Fire Safety and Helpline training to all workers was performed. This was documented in the
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for your factory approved by the Alliance on 02 April 2015.
Remediation verification visits to assess your progress addressing items in the CAP were conducted by
Alliance engineers on the following dates:

The CAP Closure Verification Visit of Zyta Apparels Ltd. FFC ID 9528 revealed that all NC’s listed in the
CAP have been remediated.
For details of the Alliance Follow-up Spot Check (after CCVV report} refer to Appendix B.
This remediation assessment does not establish the extent to which the factory complies with all
relevant provisions of the Ready-made Garment Industry Guidelines and Harmonized Standard, the
Bangladesh National Building Code, Fire Service Rules, labor law, or other regulatory mandates. Your
factory remains responsible for compliance with all relevant laws and regulations adopted and
enforced by the Government of Bangladesh.
The Alliance is focused on systemic and sustainable improvements in fire, structural and electrical
safety along with the maintenance of worker training within Bangladesh’s garment factories. The
Alliance commends you on completing all critical items listed in your approved CAP. This completion
required a great deal of effort and you should be proud of your accomplishment.
Your investments have helped create a safer workplace for your employees. These efforts also help
build a positive image of the Bangladesh apparel industry that benefits your business.
CAP completion is only the first step in building a sustainable culture of continuous improvement of
workplace safety.
The Alliance expects all factories to sustain their commitment to safety through ongoing efforts to
maintain the investments already made. Appendix C, ALLIANCE FACTORY MAINTENANCE
EXPECTATIONS outlines these expectations.
Please note that if your factory undergoes either a vertical or horizontal expansion, all documentation
must be updated with accurate information and a new inspection must be conducted. Our team is
here to assist you with any questions you may have about the CAP Closure verification visit results or
requirements for continued compliance.
Again, thank you for your commitment to the Alliance mission and your efforts to complete
remediation.
Sincerely,
Paul Rigby
