Occupational Health and Safety along the Sanitation Service Chain Training Manual Anant Mitra, Shantanu Padhi, Mahreen Matto, Sakthi Sangeetha Devi (2026)
This training outlines a two-day capacity-building programme designed to strengthen occupational health, safety, and social well-being across the sanitation service chain. The training equips participants to systematically identify role-specific hazards and health risks, and to formulate practical mitigation measures tailored to diverse sanitation functions. It builds technical competency in safe operating procedures, including the correct selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), while reinforcing compliance with established safety protocols. Beyond operational aspects, the programme foregrounds the dignity, equity, and well-being of sanitation workers, enabling participants to design community engagement strategies that address stigma and promote social inclusion. The training also introduces best practices for the safe recovery and reuse of treated wastewater and biosolids, highlighting associated environmental safeguards and public health considerations. Overall, the document presents an integrated framework that combines occupational safety, social justice, and resource recovery within the sanitation ecosystem.
