Abstract:

Street sweepers play a vital role in safeguarding the health of the people living within a specific area by maintaining and providing them with a clean place to live. However, street sweeping exposes them to a variety of risks; makes them susceptible to diseases (Sabde and Zodpey, 2008). Thakur et al. (2018) cautioned that these workers are prone to morbid conditions, such as respiratory problems, injuries, and allergies.
