Thailand's fishing industry 'puts children at risk', report says

Children in Thailand's seafood processing industry are more exposed to workplace hazards and twice as likely to sustain injuries, a report has said. More children in the seafood industry worked with fire, gas or flames compared to other industries, it said. The report by the ILO and the Asia Foundation said 19.4% of children in those industries reported workplace injuries compared to 8.4% in others. Rights group have accused the Thai seafood industry of using slave labour.
