The present study was planned in order to identify hazards and risks (Health and safety) workers who are working in dyeing industry. Longer the duration of work more may be the effects of the dye on human body Since dyeing industries work with corrosive chemicals, reactive dyes, hazardous solvents and other toxic and substance, the long term contact and exposure affected people’s health. Therefore there was a need to study the effects of the dyeing chemicals on the health of the place. This would create awareness about their safety and precaution to be taken during the operations. Such hazards when identified proper action could be carried out to illuminate the short comings and defects.
