Abstract
Introduction: Electrical industry is one of the main sources of exposure to physical hazards affecting environmental quality. Concern for a clean working environment for industrial workers is based on the fact that improved air quality leads to high productivity and human welfare for workers. This means that the efforts to improve the working environment have positive impacts on workers, concerned company, and the economy as a whole, and vice versa. Objective: to assess some of the environmental physical occupational health hazards: noise, heat stress and light intensity in Sidi Krir Power Station. Results: Result outcomes represented guides to contour maps of the potentially hazardous areas in the company for the selected physical hazards and to set up recommendations for corrective actions to improve and develop the performance of safety department. Conclusion and Recommendation: The current study concluded that environmental health and safety measures for physical occupational hazards among workers in Sidi Krir Power station can be managed and safely promoted, for better work environment..
