Abstract :

 Textile industry has different segments such as spinning, dyeing, weaving, knitting and wet processing. Cotton yarn, silk yarn, blended yarn, organic cotton, acrylic yarn, zari etc are the main raw materials of this large sector. As all these segments require large number of workers daily, it generates one of the largest employments of the world. People mostly from rural areas are engaged in this sector. Due to lack of occupational health and safety provisions, different occupational health problems are very common in this industry. As textile dyeing industry uses large number of chemicals, acids, toxic colors and materials, workers of dyeing section are vulnerable to skin diseases, respiratory problems, headache etc. In addition musculoskeletal disorder is common among the workers. In this paper an attempt is made to highlight researches on textile workers over the globe for extending the research from different angles.
