At least 35 female workers fell ill due to an oxygen shortage at the Haizington China Hair Company located in the Ishwardi Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in Pabna, Bangladesh. The incident occurred around noon on Saturday, November 15, after the air conditioning system on the factory’s fourth floor remained off for an extended period, causing oxygen levels to drop significantly. According to company officials, 34 workers became seriously ill and were initially taken to the BEPZA Hospital, while others were admitted to the Ishwardi Upazila Health Complex. Later, all 15 workers from BEPZA Hospital were transferred to the Upazila Health Complex for further treatment. The company’s administration stated that the oxygen drop triggered panic among workers, worsening the situation. Health officials confirmed that all patients are receiving treatment and that no major casualties are expected.
