ABSTRACT
It has been observed that the workplace environment affects the performance of workers. Workers are more than the most important asset for an organization, they play pivotal role in current operational performance and future competitive advantage. Workers spend major part of their life in the organization within which they work. Poor environmental conditions can cause various health problems to workers. The work will attempt to describe some elements of the workplace environment that can impact on workers health like lighting, noise, temperature and relative humidity. Keeping this in view a study was conducted to study the impact of environmental parameters on workers health in ginning mill of Dharwad taluka, Karnataka. A survey was conducted by interview method from ginning mill workers to elicit information regarding occupational health problems and instruments were used to study the environmental parameters. It was revealed that about 40 per cent workers experienced physical stress and strain, about 68.88 per cent workers had experienced difficulty while communicating with others during working.
Key words: Ginning mill, Environmental parameters, Workers, Health problems.
