Police report that factory conditions [in this case] are "fine".

Chom Chao district police chief Theng Kosal said the staff passed out because of poor health, not because of conditions in their factory.
“First, one person fainted and then the others followed. A report from clinic officials said their health was very weak. They had low blood sugar but are better now,” he said.

“Police went to examine the factory and the environment is fine.”
Mr Kosal said the sick workers were being cared for at a local clinic and had been given a day off to rest by the company.

Here is a partial list of commonly used chemicals in the textile industry:

Alkylphenols. Commonly used alkylphenol compounds include nonylphenols (NPs) and octylphenols and their ethoxylates, particularly nonylphenol ethoxylates. ...
Phthalates. ...
Brominated and chlorinated flame retardants. ...
Azo dyes. ...
Organotin compounds. ...
Perfluorinated chemicals. ...
Chlorobenzenes. ...
Chlorinated solvents.

Now I am neither a chemist nor a doctor, but I feel it is fair to ask if the "poor health problem"/
might possibly be a result of exposure to any of these chemicals.

I don't know. But on that day in Koh Kong the neighbours and friends gave us free food. Something of a special day for Khmers.

Kandal province: On 28 May 2018, 116 workers, 5 of whom were men, fell unconscious around 8 am in a bag-making factory in Ang Snuol district, Kandal province.
The first hypothesis advanced by police is that the fainting was caused by the smell of welding coming from the next-door factory. It should be easy to check if there was also an impact on the factory workers directly concerned.
Once removed from the site and taken to hospital, workers began to recover within a few hours.

Workers faint after short circuit
23 July 2018
Nearly 300 workers, including 11 pregnant women, fainted after a short circuit at a footwear factory in Kampong Cham’s Choeung Prey district on Friday.

District police officer Cheang Se said the workers suffered from breathing difficulties and overheating after the electrical fault disrupted the ventilators and fans at the Carlington sandal-making factory.

“At first, two or three workers became weak and fainted after all the ventilators and fans stopped working,” he said. “Then the others gradually started fainting, too.”

He added that the factory had now fixed the problem and working conditions were back to normal.

Hardworking Cambodian shoe maker has little time for politics
KAMPONG SPEU, Cambodia (Reuters) - Whoever wins Cambodia’s general election next week, 27-year-old Khen Srey Touch knows only that she will have to keep working hard for years to come.

Already the mother of a four-year-old boy, she is due to give birth to a girl within two weeks, but maintains a punishing schedule in a shoe factory, working about 10 hours a day, six days a week.

"I am the main breadwinner of the house," Khen Srey Touch told a Reuters photographer who spent a few days with her family in their village southwest of the capital Phnom Penh. (For related pictures, please click reut.rs/2O3gfL9)

Each morning she catches a ride in an open pickup truck to a footwear factory owned by a Taiwan company. She earns $240 a month making shoes for American, British and Japanese brands.

But it is dark when she returns home to cook the evening meal and wait for her husband, a temporary construction worker.
