Occupational hazard and its impact on life satisfaction and wellbeing of women in unorganised sector with special context to fisheries

Women are traditionally thought of as the gatherers, often restricted in moving far from home by the need to care of children; and men are the hunters, ranging long distances and freed from domestic duties and children by their female partners. Women's has role in and contribute to natural resource, environmental management, and to rural social development. Adverse work conditions are associated with psychological distress and poor mental health, now a leading cause of population disease burden. The women employed in the peeling section sit down on the floor for long hours amidst cold water that leaks from the iced raw material. Thus it is but natural that complaints of aches, pains and colds are common. The essence of occupational safety, represents the existence of a mutual relationship between these two critical concepts. They have both the same objectives and deals with the same issues, which is consistent welfare and wellbeing of human being, being looked from different angles defined in different terminologies. Moreover, the final ambition of these two policies is sustaining continuous mental and physical health of the people.
