Abstract: The main occupational health hazards and the efficacy of preventative measures in the manufacturing industry are assessed in this research. According to information gathered from 200 participants via questionnaires, interviews, and field observations, workers often encounter risks including dust (78%) and noise (85%), yet only 40% are completely aware of these dangers. Although there are usually emergency exits and first aid stations, hazard prevention is lacking when personal protective equipment (PPE) is used inconsistently, safety training is irregular, and PPE requirements are inadequate. Low ratings for ergonomic equipment point to areas that need work however control methods including ventilation and chemical handling procedures were judged to be effective. To guarantee a safer industrial work environment, the results highlight the need of organized training, improved safety communication, and more stringent implementation of preventative measures.
