In 2017, 55 workers at a Bee'ah waste treatement plant in Sharjah "suffered from suffocation" due to a gas leak at their place of work. All of the workers were taken to hospital.

In the meantime, police opened an investigation into the incident.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre includes this case in our Allegations Tracker of Abuse Against Migrant Workers in the Gulf. On publishing the results of our first analysis we invited Bee'ah to respond to the case. Their response is attached below.
