A major battery manufacturer has resumed production at its Hungarian plant after temporarily halting operations in August due to unsafe nickel exposure levels among workers. Health and safety concerns prompted the shutdown, raising questions about workplace conditions in the fast-growing electric vehicle battery sector. Authorities are expected to investigate the incident, which could have broader implications for industry standards. The restart follows corrective measures, though details on specific changes remain limited.
