Police said that as part of a certain exercise, the company's 25 employees were asked to walk a few meters long by barefoot, and the "fire roads" paved with burning charcoal. The people participating in the event soon expressed their pain. Police have conducted investigations on the matter and "whether the problem is related to the placement of fire charcoal and the way the participants have gone through it."

The report pointed out that the "barefoot and carbon" activity is usually considered to be challenging themselves, and some companies are used to stimulate employee potential.

Switzerland's "A glance" said the event was organized by an advertising marketing company called Goldbach. Iris Blättler, director of the company's public relations director, said a total of 150 people participated in the event.

In an internal letter issued by the company on the 15th, CEO Michi Frank notified the incident to the employees, saying that the barefoot charcoal was a "voluntary team activity". He wrote in the letter that "it is only a short period of contact with Yu Ember, and there is no problem." But there are still a few people's feet burned. "In this case, some participants have to accept medical staff on the spot. Treatment or was taken to the hospital. "

The British "Independence" quoted the news website "Klein Report" and said that Frank said: "After appropriate preparation, participants can walk barefoot through the burning charcoal block," and he was also at the event site at the time. Brutler said: "Walking on fire was voluntary. At that time, it meant that everything was voluntary."

The report quotes a popular science website that the safe "barefoot and fire charcoal" needs to meet the following conditions: the hot charcoal is covered by ashes as the insulation layer, so that the heat transmission is slower, and the firefire also needs to walk briskly, and the carbon charcoal also needs to be brutally walked with the fire charcoal. The contact control is controlled in a short time.
