Abstract | Abstract Background: Traffic police officers are integral to maintaining urban traffic flow and safety, yet their occupational roles expose them to a variety of health hazards. This study investigates the spectrum of occupational health hazards faced by traffic police officers in Koshi Province. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 175 traffic police officers in Koshi Province. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, physical examinations, and environmental assessments. The study evaluated the prevalence of various health issues and their association with identified occupational hazards. Results: Findings reveal high prevalence rates of respiratory ailments (35%), musculoskeletal disorders (28%), stress and anxiety (40%), hearing impairments (15%), and exposure to vehicular pollutants. Environmental assessments indicated significant levels of noise, particulate matter, and exhaust fumes in traffic hotspots. Statistical analysis identified prolonged exposure duration as significant predictors of adverse health outcomes. Conclusion: Traffic police officers in Koshi Province are susceptible to multiple occupational health hazards, necessitating comprehensive intervention strategies include enhancing protective measures, implementing regular health screenings, and establishing mental health support systems.
