If they don’t pay attention, the skin will be cut. In addition, it is also a very noisy environment, sound mechanical operation is often as high as 85 dB or more,. The employees must wear earplugs in order to work here for a long time. Because we want to explore the topic so of course we have to enter the factory to interview and experience which is the biggest challenge we have.
