🎆 Behind the Bright Skyshots: A Dark Reality 🎆
Fireworks, especially skyshots, bring joy and celebration. But behind that beauty lies a dangerous and often ignored truth.
Manufacturing fireworks involves handling highly explosive chemicals, mixing sensitive materials, assembling shells, and drying and storing them under risky conditions. One small mistake can cost lives.
⚠️ The Real Problem: Unsafe Labour Practices
Many workers in fireworks units work without basic safety gear like gloves, masks, or fire-resistant clothing. Training is minimal, workplaces are overcrowded, and fire safety measures are often missing. Vulnerable workers - women, migrants, and low-paid laborers - are forced to risk their lives due to poverty and lack of options.
Profit is often prioritized over human safety. When accidents happen, workers are left injured, uncompensated, or forgotten.
