Three young construction workers were killed this week when the bamboo platform they were working on collapsed from the 10th storey of the building, sending them to their death. Investigations are still ongoing but preliminary signs point to the lack standard safety measures and negligence by supervisors of the construction company. Unfortunately, repression of independent unions, lax regulations and corruption all lead to the development of a deadly environment for workers in Bangladesh (see here and here).
