For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study, interview and questionnaires were analyzed using statistical analysis such as descriptive analyses. The information obtained through self-administered questionnaire from a sample of 16 operators and face-to-face interviews with respondents in the sector was conducted on industries under investigation. The respondent operators were selected using Purposive or judgmental sampling techniques.
