3. INTRODUCTION
Health hazards are the condition that can injure you or make you sick. There
are many reasons that can cause health hazards like indoor air pollution,
radiation, noise, stress etc.
HEALTH HAZARD DUE TO DIFFERENT JOB :
The hazards caused due to working at different places , which causes many
health related problems and risk to life.

4. FISHERMAN
There are many problems that can be taken into account when studying
health problems for fishermen. Main problems that have been observed are
injuries, musculoskeletal problems, stress, hearing problems caused by noise,
skin burns, consumption of alcohol, fatty food, smoking and lack of physical
exercise. The most common causes of accidents among hunters are falling
from the top deck , and injury during transport and handling equipment on
the deck. They have to work for long hours on the deck and get very less time
to sleep. An average a fisherman have to work for more than 13 -15 hours on
the deck. This causes a loss of stress and anxiety problems for them.

5. MINING
The health outcomes associated with coal mining community are various,
from increased rates of lung cancer to respiratory disease .The use of
explosives at these sites causes a great amount of dust which can affect the
respiratory health of workers. These explosives are also created from
chemicals which have been linked to poisoning. Explosions are also capable of
fracturing underground water tables and lead to the contamination of
drinking water by heavy metals, mine drainage, and methane gas. Mining is
carried out in narrow seams so the miners has to adopt postures which
stresses on there joints and back. The use of drilling machines with hands also
causes problems and can lead to Reynaud's disease(vibration induced white
fingers). The noise made from heavy machineries can also make a person
deaf.

6. GARBAGE COLLECTOR
There are many health hazards associated with the garbage collectors,
dangerous materials like broken glass and light bulbs are a common cause of
injury for sanitation workers, The broken shards are typically placed into
plastic garbage bags, which are then lifted and carried to the truck for
removal. During lifting or moving, glass or metal blades can cut the hands or
body of a garbage collector and result in serious injury. Lifting heavy objects
repeatedly can result in spinal damage and a number of physical injuries to
them. Garbage contains every type of hazardous material imaginable from
battery acid to bleach, from pesticides to needles. The potential for injury,
infection, poisoning, burns or respiratory damage is high for the garbage
collector.

7. RADIOLOGY
There is a health hazard associated with exposure to radiation. Exposure to
very large amounts of radiation can cause death within days or weeks. Lower
radiation level can cause many other diseases if exposed to it for a longer
time . Some studies have shown that people working with radiation have a
higher risk of problems such as cancer, heart disease and stroke.

8. AVIATION
Pilot or cabin crew may suffer with many diseases including Deep vein
thrombosis to hypothermia . Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of a
blood clot in a deep vein, predominantly in the legs. It signs may include pain,
swelling, redness and warmness in body parts. Pilots can also face Hypoxia . It
is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of
adequate oxygen supply due to the pressure in the cabin. In addition they
may also be victims of stress/fatigue due to high altitude.

9. CALL CENTRES
People working in call centers have many difficulty in there jobs. They have to
face sleep disturbances and associated mental stress and anxiety. There was
also disturbance in circadian rhythms due to night shift. Physical problems
such as musculoskeletal disorders, obesity, eye, and hearing problems were
also present. Psychosocial problems included disruption in family life, use of
tobacco and alcohol, and faulty eating habits. People working in call centers
have to work in night shifts which causes adverse affect on their health. They
have to sit for long hours on computer which causes back pain and many
health related problems.
