Prevalent Health Problems among Nepalese Underground Construction Workers.

Conclusion: Respiratory problems are the most common health problem in underground construction workers; however, injuries and hypertension were significantly higher in tunnel workers. Acute gastroenteritis was significantly higher among outside the tunnel workers. Workplace safety should be the priority of every construction site, especially focusing to prevent respiratory problems, injuries, and accidents. PMID: 33488740 [PubMed - in process]
