Taipei, Dec. 21 (CNA) The Taoyuan Office of Labor Inspection on Monday ordered a local pharmaceutical firm to temporarily suspend production after one of its workers died in a fire the previous day.
Su Chih-hsiang (蘇志翔), who heads the labor office s manufacturing industry section, said the order was issued to Sci Pharmtech Inc. as on-site conditions are still deemed too unsafe for employees to resume work, following a preliminary inspection of the damage.
According to Su, the company s warehouse located nearby can continue delivery operations as normal.
