Abstract
Background: Workplace safety is intricately linked to the health risks faced by individuals in their jobs. It guarantees a secure and healthy work atmosphere while safeguarding colleagues, family, employers, and clients from potential dangers. Various health issues for employees can arise from occupational hazards.
Objectives: The main objective of this study aimed to examine the occupational safety and health risk of seaport workers at Mongla Port of Bangladesh.
Materials & methods: The research was explanatory, and purposive sampling was utilized to choose 346 participants from the port. The data were examined using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and correlation analysis.
Results & discussion: Most of the respondents utilized helmets, safety glasses, and protective clothing while at work. A significant portion of the population (61.0 percent) experienced at least one health issue, while only a small fraction (9.0 percent) had life insurance coverage. The study revealed a statistically significant connection between the length of employment and financial satisfaction (p < 0.007). Additionally, there was a moderate positive correlation (r = .295**) between treatment costs and monthly household income. Occupational health has implemented a care process that incorporates preventive measures and health-promoting strategies suited for the work circumstances of this group.
Conclusion: Occupational health has the theoretical and practical understanding necessary to establish a care process that incorporates prevention and encourages health strategies suitable for the working conditions of this group of employees.
