A Study Evaluating the Implementation of Occupational Safety Measures in Chosen FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) Manufacturing Companies of Nepal

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the methods used to ensure the health and safety of FMCG workers in Nepal, with a focus on those who do their jobs from the comfort of their own homes. Using secondary data collected from various sources such as books, papers, articles, and the internet, this research employs a descriptive and qualitative approach. Overall, the results demonstrate that occupational safety and health (OSH) in Nepal is in dismal shape, and that there is a dearth of research focusing on the FMCG industry in Nepal. Workers in the FMCG industry are either not aware of the risks they face on the job or do not take enough safety steps to protect themselves, according to the report. Multiple sclerosis is more prevalent in the sewing department among the many musculoskeletal disorders experienced by workers in this sector. Age, gender, and level of education are some of the risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders. Improving occupational safety and health in this profession requires immediate and thorough action from the government, companies, and workers, according to the report. The report also stresses how intricate clothing factories are.
