Fainting factory told to act

Another garment factory within the International Labour Organisation’s Better Factories program was hit by a mass fainting incident yesterday.  More than 50 employees of Heart Enterprise (Cambodia) Co Ltd began collapsing soon after starting their shift at the facility, in Phnom Penh’s Dangkor district. An inspection by officials from the ministries of labour, social affairs and health had found that ventilating fans were blocked, air circulation was poor and workers were fatigued from working too much overtime,  Yi Kithana, deputy director-general of the Labour Ministry’s occupational health department, said yesterday.
