Avebe sacks seven for smoking in fire risk zone

Potato starch company Avebe has sacked seven workers for breaking smoking rules, Nos television reports.


The seven had insisted on smoking in part of a factory in Ter Apelkanaal where smoking is strictly forbidden.
The factory processes potato starch into a raw ingredient for glue and carries a high explosive risk, Nos said.
