A week after the nation's worst garment factory fire left 110 workers dead, Bangladeshis are starting to return to work in factories contracted by big-name foreign clothing companies.<br /><br />At an annual worth of $20bn, the garment industry makes up 80 per cent of the country's economy.<br /><br />The fire service is now checking all 4,000 factories in the nation to ensure safety.<br /><br />Despite the risks, the three-and-a-half million people who work in the industry, many of whom had held protests following the fire, are slowly returning to work because they rely on the $43 a month they are often paid.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports from Ashulia.
