Description
Rasmita Shrestha and Aditya Shakya survey protective gear use among tea workers in Ilam district, Nepal, in a research paper from 2026. Tea processing exposes workers to many hazards, and gear only helps when worn fully. The team interviewed 269 workers face to face.
Most workers, about eighty-three percent, used at least one piece of gear. Only thirteen percent wore the complete set. The kind of work shaped use, and workers given a full free set by employers used gear far more. The authors urge employers to supply complete sets at no cost and to enforce their use, since partial gear leaves workers exposed.
