· Mention any two hazards of working in the glass bangles industry .
Answers
Working in the glass bangle industry is full of numerous health hazards. The children work in the glass furnaces with high temperature. They work in the dingy cells where there is no light and no air. This spoils their health, eye-sight and other parts of the body.
The bangle-makers weld pieces of coloured glass into circles of bangles. They polish them and the dust of the polishing along with the high temperature flames result in losing their eye-sight before they become adult. They live and work in stinking lanes and thereby their health goes on deteriorating.
• High temperatures caused by burning glass furnaces makes it extremely dangerous for the workers of the factory
• Suffocation and lack of light due to poor ventilation and the dust from polishing results in respiratory problems
• Often, the workers suffer from loss of eyesight due to hot furnaces and dim lighting
