BACKGROUND
270 million workplace accidents occur annually. In Uganda, Kampala district has the highest workplace injury and fatality rates. However, information on personal protective equipment (PPE)-hand gloves, hardhats, overalls, safety boots, earplugs, safety harness with lanyard, and face shields-utilization among building construction workers remains scarce. We assessed PPE utilization and determinants among building construction workers in Kampala, Uganda.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study involved 385 respondents. Data collected by structured questionnaire was double-entered in EpiData and analyzed in STATA at 5% significance level. Independent determinants of PPE use were established by a stepwise backward logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS
305 (79.2%) respondents were males, 290 (75.3%) were 18-30 years, 285 (74.0%) completed secondary education, and 197 (51.2%) were temporary employees. 60 (15.6%) respondents used PPE. Female sex (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 6.64; 95% CI: 1.55-28.46; = 0.011), temporary (AOR = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.01-0.27; < 0.001) and casual (AOR = 0.01; 95% CI: 0.001-0.071; < 0.001) employment, and previous knowledge of safety measures (AOR = 100.72; 95% CI: 26.00-390.16; < 0.001) were associated with PPE use.
CONCLUSION
PPE use was low in Kampala, Uganda. Building construction companies should implement measures of the Uganda Occupational Health and Safety Act.
背景
每年发生2.7亿起工作场所事故。在乌干达，坎帕拉区的工作场所受伤率和死亡率最高。然而，关于建筑工人个人防护装备（PPE）——手套、安全帽、工作服、安全靴、耳塞、带系索的安全带和面罩——使用情况的信息仍然匮乏。我们评估了乌干达坎帕拉建筑工人的个人防护装备使用情况及其决定因素。
方法
这项横断面研究涉及385名受访者。通过结构化问卷收集的数据在EpiData中进行双录入，并在STATA中以5%的显著性水平进行分析。通过逐步向后逻辑回归分析确定个人防护装备使用的独立决定因素。
结果
305名（79.2%）受访者为男性，290名（75.3%）年龄在18至30岁之间，285名（74.0%）完成了中等教育，197名（51.2%）为临时雇员。60名（15.6%）受访者使用了个人防护装备。女性（调整后的优势比（AOR）=6.64；95%置信区间：1.55 - 28.46；P = 0.011）、临时（AOR = 0.05；95%置信区间：0.01 - 0.27；P < 0.001）和临时雇佣（AOR = 0.01；95%置信区间：0.001 - 0.071；P < 0.001）以及之前对安全措施的了解（AOR = 100.72；95%置信区间：26.00 - 390.16；P < 0.001）与个人防护装备的使用有关。
结论
在乌干达坎帕拉，个人防护装备的使用率较低。建筑公司应实施《乌干达职业健康与安全法》的相关措施。
