A few personal accounts of sanitation workers were used to illustrate their hardships. It__ampersandsignrsquo;s been more than a century since the working circumstances of these sanitation employees have altered much at all. Because of their employment, these employees are subject to specific health concerns in addition to the social horrors they confront. To name a few of the po tential health risks: exposure to hazardous gases, cardiovascular disease problems, muscular-skeletal diseases, and infections Engineers, doctors, and legislators can help prevent this from happening through engineering, medical, and legislative methods. In addition to preventing exposures, the medical measures will aid in the early diagnosis of these exposures__ampersandsignrsquo; consequences. Developing an effective occupational health service for this set of employees can help to achieve this. Aims: There should also be frequent awareness campaigns aimed at educating workers about safer work processes and the proper use of personal protective equipment. Methods: This study was the explanatory study by purpose because it explained the health hazards faced by the sanitation workers; by use, this was an applied study that will help the officials to provide necessary measures to escape the severe health hazards. Result: As a result of this, the researcher utilised Pearson and Spearman correlation to determine whether or not there is a link between Demographic information, Job Nature, and distinct Health concerns of sanitation employees. Conclusion: In addition to being subjected to occupational health dangers, sanitation employees are both socially and economi cally disadvantaged. Infected cut wounds on sanitation workers were documented to be caused by bumping into sharp things, shattered glass, pins, sharp materials, and hazardous trash.&#13;
