Abstract

Background: Fatigue is a multidimensional occupational health concern that reduces productivity, compromises safety, and affects physical and mental well-being. Chemical factory workers are at higher risk due to repetitive tasks, long working hours, and physically demanding environments

Aim & Objective: To study the prevalence of fatigue among chemical factory workers in Raigad district by using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS).

Methods: An observational study was conducted among 92 male workers aged 25–45 years with at least one year of experience and working more than eight hours. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data collection included informed consent and administration of the FAS. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Out of 92 workers, 66.3% experienced moderate fatigue. Most workers-maintained motivation, concentration, and daily energy, though early signs of physical and mental exhaustion were evident.

Conclusion: The study concluded that chemical factory workers commonly experience moderate fatigue, which, if unaddressed, may progress to burnout and reduced productivity. Workplace interventions such as ergonomic adjustments, rest breaks, and wellness programs are recommended to mitigate fatigue and support occupational health.
