Abstract

The plastic industry faces unique challenges, such as structural issues due to small-scale operations in non-designed spaces, informal segments leading to substandard conditions, and reliance on complex machinery contributing to accidents and worker fatigue. Additionally, Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) problems encompass fire safety concerns due to the flammable nature of plastic, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and electrical safety risks. Combining legal obligations with proactive safety initiatives at the factory level can enhance the overall OSH preparedness of the sector.
