1. Introduction
With an estimated workforce of 26 million construction
workers in India, [1] it is paramount to implement measures to
evaluate and promote health in the group, especially in context to
the numerous factors contributing to the detriment of health
among them. Not only does the nature of work in itself preclude
them to physical hazards at their workplace, the socio-economic
status among these workers aggravates their risk for ill health. The
construction industry in India is characterized by poor work
habits, lack of ergonomic practices, prolonged work hours with
inadequate rest periods, hazardous working conditions, migrant
labor with poor rights and say at the workplace and poor
healthcare access.
