The maritime construction industry is one of the oldest and most important manufacturing sectors globally. It involves different operations that produce dangerous compounds and pollutants, posing risks to both the environment and workers' health. This study explores the occupational health risks faced by workers in the shipyard industries in Chattogram, Khulna, and Dhaka of Bangladesh. This paper examines the sources of these dangers and supports corrective actions in accordance with the regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The methodology utilized both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with the research sites and participants being carefully chosen. Information was collected via interviews using a standardized questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to determine the factors influencing occupational health risks. Workers, regardless of their origins, usually work for 11 to 12 hours every day. A considerable number of employees, more than 62%, indicated experiencing a range of health issues such as visual problems, abdominal pain, and skin conditions. The workforce has obstacles due to physically demanding work, unpredictable scheduling, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate safety measures. This inquiry seeks to clarify the elements that cause occupational health hazards in Bangladesh's shipbuilding industry. Adopting suitable personal protection equipment and maintaining excellent health can reduce job risks, according to the evidence. However, individual behaviours and worker classifications seem to have little impact on occupational dangers. Extended working hours and housing situations can worsen health hazards related to occupational surroundings. This study's results are expected to accelerate the development of the shipyard sector, therefore aiding the nation's economic growth and encouraging more academic research. 2025-05-06T11:07:00Z 2025-05-06T11:07:00Z 2024-03 Thesis http://dspace.mist.ac.bd:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/848 en application/pdf
