A Chinese company that refused to allow staff time off when their office filled with car exhaust fumes has issued them with gas masks instead. Builders called in to reinstall the office’s air conditioning system bungled by setting it up to suck in supposedly fresh air from the underground car park below the building. Staff complained of watery eyes, coughing fits and headaches as a result of having to brave the fumes at the building in the city of Nanchong, Sichuan province. Managers refused to give them time off but, on the third day, finally agreed to buy staff gas masks as an alternative to allowing them to stay away from work. Health experts who tested the office said that as long as staff were wearing masks was no reason to close down the office while the problem is fixed.
