A major battery manufacturer has resumed production at its Hungarian plant after halting operations in August due to unsafe working conditions, specifically elevated nickel exposure among employees. Health and safety concerns prompted the shutdown, raising questions about workplace protections in the fast-growing battery industry. Authorities are expected to investigate the incident, which could have broader implications for manufacturing standards. The restart follows corrective measures, though details on the specific risks and long-term safeguards remain unclear.
CATL restarted operations at its Debrecen battery plant following an August suspension after workers were exposed to high nickel levels.
