BEXIMCO Management of Safety


Hello all,
As a part of my field study I proposed the team for interview for that i asked them that I would be conducting a case study concerning the safety and health precaution for workers in BEXIMCO Company Limited as part of partial fulfillment on my master’s studies. The core goal of managing safety is to make sure the employees working environment is safe by implementing the same appropriately. The company put the focus on:
         Replacing any member who resigns from the safety team like which fight fire with a worker with the relevant training and having all the accreditation.
Members need to have badges at all times with their photographs displayed so that they can be identified easily.
The required support is provided for all the teams working on ensuring safety to allow proper performance in any times of emergency.
The company has enough staffs in all the safety sectors to ensure help will be available at all the regions in the firm during emergencies.
All the employees have to go through a comprehensive, conscious training concerning the map for an evacuation plan.
The equipment relevant to safety are enough and are in good working conditions at all the times.
In the case of unannounced or announced emergencies, employees need to evacuate and then assemble at their appropriate assembling points in a quick manner. Information that is sent concerning the emergencies need to be recorded well in the appropriate registers, and immediate action should be taken in existence of discrepancy.
Keeping safety a priority is the motto, and all workers must ensure they work in places where there is safety for them and others.
For any queries, employees need to report to their supervisors, and it is the role of each and every one to encourage others concerning matters of safe.

      I thanks all for their esteemed cooperation

Sourcing New Brands

Hello,

like I have told you last time I was supposed to join my workmates to Copenhagen Fashion Week to look out for new brands to collaborate with. We went there for one night only and tried to talk to as many interesting brands as possible but it takes just so much time going round the fashion fairs and investigate each stall, so in the end we unfortunately missed out on some areas.

All in all it was a successful trip though. My bosses wanted to focus on Scandinavian brands only for their next pop-up showroom, so they mostly talked to those brands and tried to establish relationships with quite small labels that are not represented in Sweden/ Gothenburg yet.

I, on the other hand, was more interested in the German based brands, which were surprisingly interesting and I also spotted some designers from the UK, that I have been a fan of for some time. I even walked past the Danish princess, as she was visiting the fairs as well... ;)

But back to business: As young entrepreneurs it is quite hard to convince brands to work with you but it is not impossible. Many labels were delighted to hear about the unique concept we were representing (a showroom with sample pieces that can be ordered for home delivery via the online boutique). Others were of course sceptical but I am sure the girls from the company I worked for will do a great job getting new, exciting brands on board for their next project.

My internship is over now and I have already gotten back to "normal" student life in Borås. It feels a bit weird and I cannot wait to finish my studies and start a job or traineeship, thanks to the insights this field study has given me.
