Despite these resources, in 2010, 70% of the working-age population was underemployed overall. From November 2015 to May 2016, we conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study with an analytical component in the Central Region. We surveyed 168 workers and 48 woodworking workshops. Twenty-eight (28) occupational hazards were identified, including: access to running tools [36 (75%)], unexpected restarting of a machine after a power outage [24 (50%)], the presence of wood dust in the air [45 (93.75%)], the use of glue, varnish, and paint [39 (81.25%)]. The identified occupational hazards were linked to: work tools (machines), the workshop's status (formal or informal sector), workers' professional skills, the tasks workers must perform, and the environment in which the woodworking workshop is located.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890735431831,"sku":"9786630051957","price":5315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786630051957.webp?v=1781181136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/descriptive-study-of-occupational-risks-in-the-woodworking-industry-9786630051957","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
