Abstract Workers in solid waste management face numerous risks every day, including exposure to harmful substances, injuries from sharp objects, and the physical strain of lifting heavy objects. Many do not receive proper protective equipment, clean facilities, or necessary training, which makes their work even more dangerous. In addition, long working hours, job insecurity, and social stigma lead to stress and mental health challenges. In many sectors, weak safety regulations and lack of enforcement mean that workers do not receive adequate healthcare and support. To improve their well-being, it is necessary to implement strong safety measures, provide good protective equipment, conduct regular health checks, and provide appropriate training. Enhancing waste management systems and ensuring fair working conditions can greatly reduce risks. Collaborative efforts between governments, waste management organizations, and public health organizations are essential to creating a safe working environment.
