Sanitation workers have been the foundation of the sanitation improvement story of urban India.
Sanitation sector and various services provided under it are hazardous in nature — some are moderately hazardous while many of them are extremely hazardous. The working environment puts sanitation workers to a wide range of health risks and diseases due to exposure to harmful pathogens, chemicals and sharp objects. Consequently, there is an urgent need to ensure safety and humane working condition in all aspects and activities of sanitation.
