In India, the Construction Industry is the second largest and a fast growing sector. Occupational hazards are one of the major problems faced by construction workers. Construction workers suffer from musculoskeletal pain, respiratory conditions, skin diseases due to longer working hours and exposure to various chemicals. They not only suffer from physical health problems but also from emotional distress and psychological ill health as they work in poor conditions and are often vulnerable to exploitation. This study mainly aims to understand the quality of life of construction workers in different domains using SF 36questionnaire.
