Question: On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the top score, how would you rate the quality of the work environment you saw here, and why?
Answer: I think i would rate the work environment a 7. This is because they had good lighting and equipment. They also had a lot of room between themselves so that they did not get all squished up and get hurt. Even if something did happen they seemed experienced and protected.
One observation i made is that most of them were not wearing shoes, i think they should to protect their feet. Another observation i made was that they were all very kind and smiling. They must not get too many visitors like us. Someone told me that many garment factories have fire hazards alike very small exits. The factory we visited seemed to have a big enough exit.
A question that I still have is do most of the garment factories in Bangladesh get to sell the products to other countries and to such big companies like this one?
