Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Health Safety Environmental Engineering

Abstract
The current research evaluated the effects of hazardous waste management practices on the environment and health of workers. The study aimed to investigate via to measure the environmental and health implications of existing hazardous waste handling, storage, treatment, and disposal practices. A descriptive and analytical research design was used, along with collecting both primary and secondary data sources. The results showed that bad segregation, poor storage, and non-compliance with rules were the main factors causing soil and water pollution. The research also found that workers in hazardous waste handling were at risk of having health problems such as respiratory disorders, skin diseases, and injuries. The analysis using statistics proved that there was a strong link between waste management practices and both environmental and health issues The researchers claimed that the efficient management of hazardous waste was the main factor that kept environmental pollution and health risks to workers at bay. The research pointed out the need for stricter regulatory enforcement, regular training programs, and improved safety measures. The results were regarded to help policymakers, industry managers, and regulatory authorities in creating sustainable hazardous waste management strategies that will protect both the environment and the health of workers.
