Fifty MMH workers of the central market area in Agartala city were selected to identify the risk factors contributing to accidents. A standardized modified Nordic questionnaire was performed. Analysis of working postures by OWAS method was done and history of accident cases was collected. It was revealed that most accidents, being struck by objects and slipping and falling, have occurred during lifting and carrying loads. Accident records suggested that few accident cases have reached the hospitals indicating a general negligence of attending the hospitals.</p> Swagatam Das Dr. Goutam Ghoshal Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Biological & Pharmaceutical Science 2025-02-19 2025-02-19 11 1 1 6 10.53555/eijbps.v11i1.57
