Oladipupo-Okorie & Adeyeye (2012) is best used to gather, organize, present and analyze data for the purpose of
describing the occurrence of an event or phenomenon within a particular people. Therefore it is the best method that
could be adopted for this research design because it described the situation as it is. The population of the study
consisted of 8 sawmills in Ondo State. However, 240 respondents consisting of 110 sawmill workers and 130 inhabitants
of the environment who were within the age range of 20-60 years. These respondents were selected using accidental
sampling techniques. A self structured questionnaire was used to collect data on the sawmill wastes on health among the
sawmill workers and inhabitant of the environment. The questionnaire tagged (SWH) contained two Sections, Section A
of the questionnaire dealt with the demographic characteristics of respondents, while section B consisted of four sections
which was developed on 'Agreed'/'Disagreed' and Adequate/ Inadequate, an alternative responses that elicited
information regarding the awareness of wastes generated in sawmills, available safety and environmental health aid
equipment, prevalent of diseases, and the vibration level of equipment used. The questionnaire was validated by
experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using the test-retest method on similar group from another
sawmill which yielded an index of 0.85. The data for the study was gathered through the distribution of the questionnaire
to the 240 respondents personally with the help of three research assistants and the filled questionnaires were collected
back on the spot. Data collected were coded and analyzed using frequency distribution, simple percentages and
inferential statistic of t-test. Inferences were made at 0.05 alpha level.
