There is an army of women who sweep the city streets early every morning and I commend their effort in this regard.

The problem is that these women are made to go about their business in total disregard of the safety of their health.

They do not wear any reflective clothing. Neither do they use any road markers to demarcate where they are sweeping so that motorists can steer clear of them.

Many of them have narrowly missed being run over by hurrying motorists. Can’t the employer provide them with at least reflective clothing and road markers to afford them basic protection?
