Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a research project completed in June 2002 The working environment and environmental pollution in rice mills were investigated. Lots of problems related to physical, socio-economic, health and gender-related work environments have been identified. Environmental pollution was found to exist in the rice mills. The work environment was not found conducive and favourable for workers' health. There was lack of knowledge and awareness regarding environmental pollution and safety of the workers in the rice mills. Practical measures are suggested for improvement of work environment, minimizing the environmental pollution and thus increasing the working efficiency and reducing health hazards of the workers.
