At least 10 employees of Qualfon Call Center, Goedverwagting/Plaisance were Tuesday afternoon rushed to the Georgetown Hospital in an unconscious condition after a problem developed with air conditionining unit at the Beterverwagting location collapsed, according to well-placed sources.
Another source said that the Call Centre was struck by a power failure because the generators stopped working, resulting in no air conditioning being supplied to the complex.
A number of the employees have been vomiting and fainting, while others were having asthma attacks.
Demerara Waves Online News was told that the Goedverwagting/Plaisance location has no windows and only one entrance/exit. Management also prevents call service agents from leaving the premises once they are on shift.
Efforts to obtain an official comment from a company representative were unsuccessful.
