Prof. Amrita P. Taide

Abstract :

Work plays a dynamic role in sustaining life. Occupation is one of the major determinants of health, as each one of spends at least 8 to10 hours in the workplace daily. The working population not only represents half of the world’s population but also is the key contributors to socioeconomic development. The health of the working population is determined not only by the health hazards at the workplace but also by social and individual factors as well as easy access to available health services. The health is one such trait, which majorly contributes to the process of education. Health does not only mean physical health but it also means mental health. Mental health of a teacher is thus very important in the process of education because the teacher can do so only when he/she has a sound mental health which contributes not only to the maintenance of physical health but also to social effectiveness. The teachers face multiple occupational hazards. The main objective of the present review is to explore the impact of occupational health hazards on the health of teachers.
