As photographs are usually more informative than long texts,  we decided to release a few related to safety in factories. Similar to the previous time, we included comments with the pictures to point out risks or good practices.
The recent fire in the Garig&Garig factory in Bangladesh is an unfortunate but harsh reminder of basics in safety in factories: to be pro-active in preventive measures. This essentially means to provide the necessary training and put in the measures to ensure the protection of workers in the likelihood of accidents.
