Answer one of the above questions and add two points of observation or reflection from the day abouts the two places we visited (Sterling Styles factory and Up2Date apparel office). Also you can compose a question that you may have from our flex day adventures. You should post these three items on your blog page.1) answer a question 2) make two observations or reflections (or write your own questions that you may have) Three things in total!
5. What do you think the level of safety is here? What makes you think this?
The factory was clean and ordered most things were labelled and had included instructions.
Masks were provided but not all the people were wearing them, I think for more safety every body should wear a mask. The rooms were provided with fire extinguishers and a set of instructions for how to use them I think that this is a very important thing to have.Medical treatment was also provided for workers. This is good for the worker's safety. The work spaces were also outlined with yellow lines, this was a good way to show us when we were to close to the machines and workers.
Over all I think the factory was quite safe because it was organized and provided what was needed for an emergency.(fire extinguisher, Medical care). Some improvents could be made (such as the masks issue) but in the whole it is quite safe.
Reflections
.The factory had alot of workers which each had their own specific job.
.The factory made clothes for alot of different brands such as gap.
