Adults may also experience high blood pressure, fatigue, kidney, and brain disturbances [19]. Chronic exposure to heavy metals may also lead to skin eruptions, intestinal ulcer, and different types of cancers [20].
To control these medical hazards, particularly in relation to heavy metals, there are coordinated safety initiatives introduced to limit heavy metal exposures in the paint industry thereby preventing negative health effects. These measures include redesigning processes to place a barrier between workers and the hazard; adopting standard operating procedures or safe work practices; providing appropriate training, instruction, or information to reduce the potential for harm and/or adverse health effects to person(s); and implementing the use of personal protective devices (PPDs) such as gloves, glasses, aprons, safety footwear, and dust masks designed to reduce exposure to the hazard. PPDs are usually the last line of defense and usually used in conjunction with one or more of the other control measures [21].
The consequences of not following these practice guidelines can be fatal as control of these hazards is the key to reducing the risk of injury and illness among workers in this industry [18].
Our intention was to assess the awareness of workers on the occupational hazards present at work and the safety measures necessary in paint production factories. The study was also intended to highlight the common negative health symptoms
