Shocking Conditions in PPE factories supplying the UK

About this report

Our exclusive investigation for Channel 4 News revealed the shocking exploitation of migrant workers who churn out Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for companies that supply the NHS.

Staff at Top Glove factories in Malaysia – the world’s largest manufacturer of medical gloves – provided disturbing evidence about working conditions and breaches of social distancing rules, while trying to meet intense production targets during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following our investigation, the US Customs banned imports of surgical gloves from the company over forced labour concerns and there was later a mass outbreak of Covid-19 among workers.
