Abstract Background:
Health education and early identification of an environment associated disease for a single patient may lead to primary preventive strategies affecting other similarly exposed people who have not yet developed the disease. Construction industry is notorious for its reputation as dirty, difficulty and dangerous- the 3 D’s. Many studies on occupational health hazards among construction workers revealed that the major diseases/morbidity of concern in India are respiratory diseases, accidental injuries, musculoskeletal symptoms, noise inducing hearing loss and skin problems.
Methods: By quantitative research approach with pre-experimental one group pre and post-test research design. Sixty construction workers are selected by using purposive sampling technique.
Results: In pre-test 90% of workers scored below average marks and rest of 10% scored average marks. In the post-test knowledge scores have improved to average (58.3%) and above average (41.7%). Computed chi-square values shows there is
Significant association between knowledge on prevention of occupational hazards with sex and education of construction workers.
Conclusion: The knowledge gain with planned teaching programme has been estimated by comparing pre-test mean knowledge scores (40.48%) and post-test mean knowledge scores (71.11%). The calculated ‘t’ value was 28.82 at 29 degrees of freedom with 0.05 level of significance is far higher than the table value 2.05, shows that there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. Hence, it can be concluded that the planned teaching programme has improved the knowledge of construction workers on prevention of occupational hazards.
