At least 130 garment workers were hospitalised on Monday in Cambodia's Kampong Speu province as they fainted after inhaling insecticide, Xinhua reported on Tuesday.

The incident occurred at a garments factory in Samrong Tong district, some 50 km from capital Phnom Penh.

"The accident happened due to the carelessness of the factory' s management," said Chuon Mon Thol, president of Cambodia's confederation of trade unions. "They sprayed pesticides in the factory just a few hours before the workers entered the factory hall to work, so the smell caused them to fall ill."

The workers felt fatigue, dizziness and nausea.
