This collaborative study by the South Asian Sanitation Worker and Labour Network (SASLN) examined occupational safety and health conditions for sanitation workers across 10 Indian states. Through a structured survey involving over 500 participants, the study identified critical gaps in access to protective equipment, healthcare, social security, and training.
Findings reveal that a majority of workers operate without adequate safety gear, often under informal employment conditions, with limited access to hygiene facilities or mental health support. The study also highlights the need for gender-sensitive tools and inclusive workplace practices.
