More than two dozen global clothing brands have said they will investigate mass faintings among Cambodian garment workers.
The International Labour Organisation says the retailers have agreed to provide resources and international expertise to find out why hundreds of their suppliers' employees have collapsed recently.
The mass fainting episodes are often blamed on workers' poor health, bad workplace ventilation or exposure to dangerous chemicals.
The ILO estimates there have been around 10 mass fainting incidents so far this year in Cambodia which has nearly 300 factories making clothing for export.
