PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Hundreds of workers were hospitalised after falling ill on Monday at a Cambodian garment factory - the latest in a string of such incidents in the industry, police and union officials said.
Nearly one thousand employees at the Anful Garments Factory (Cambodia) in the southern province of Kampong Speu described feeling weak, nauseous and dizzy during their shift, Free Trade union leader Chea Mony told AFP.
'I am investigating the case,' he said, adding that many of them had lost consciousness in the incident, which happened after the plant had been sprayed with insecticide over the weekend.
Provincial police chief Keo Pisei confirmed that scores of workers at the factory had passed out, but he said the number was 'less than one thousand'.
