Abstract

Background: In developed countries, the number of injuries and illnesses at work is growing. About 120 million workplace incidents and more than 200,000 deaths are projected to occur in these countries each year. An estimated 42 million workplace accidents occurred with more than 54,000 casualties each year. Welding is one of the occupations which contributes to developing countries in the form of work-related accidents and diseases. The process remains the most common method of joining metals today and forms part of the art of metal making involving the construction of metal structures by cutting, bending and joining.

Objectives: This study is planned to evaluate the physical morbidity profile among the welders and that associate finding with a selected demographic variable.

Ethics approval was obtained from IEC, DMIMS (DMIMS(DU)/IEC/Dec-2019/8658). The conclusion will be drawn from the results.

Methods: It is a community based Descriptive study welders are involved in this study. The welders will be selected for study as per inclusion/ exclusion criteria and purposefully selected. Data will be collected by a self-structured checklist. The checklist is given to the welders and collects after 30min of time duration.

Results: All welders having some type of physical morbidity. Welders injury was the most common problem at work followed by skin and eye problems. Age of welders, education qualification, welding experience, hours worked per day were associated with the physical morbidity among welders.

Conclusion: Welders in this study will have a identified physical morbidity pattern.
