A self-administered well-structured standard questionnaire was designed and distributed to factory workers with the assistance of the factory supervisor for the purpose of gathering information from the respondents. The questionnaire elicited information on personal data, awareness of occupational hazards, and use of PPDs. The management personnel of the various paint manufacturers were adequately informed and were aware of the purpose of the study. They were also made to understand that participation in the study was voluntary and strict confidentiality was to be maintained.
