Semi-structured questionnaire and observation checklist were used for data collection. Most of the participants had knowledge about occupational health and safety. Similarly about 54.7% of them use gloves, 25.3% use boot and 18% use mask as personal protective equipment. Majority of participants were aware about occupational hazard but their practice level of personal protective equipment is low for protecting themselves.
