Sanitary workers are exposed to a variety of occupational hazards in a variety of working environments, which can result in occupational-related outcomes. As a result, the goal of this review was to identify occupational health and safety outcomes among sanitary workers worldwide.
PRISMA was used as flow diagram and PICOS was used review questions. The studies published in English were searched from databases and others methods ranging from 2000 to 2022. Boolean logic (AND, OR), MeSH, and keywords used: (Occupation *OR Job *OR Work) AND (Occupational related respiratory Symptoms *OR Disease) AND [Solid waste collectors (SWCs) *OR Street sweepers (SS) *OR Sewage workers and waste treatment (STWs)] AND (Countries).
A total of 228 studies were identified from 23 countries across the world. Studies were found via PubMed ( = 40), Medline ( = 25), Embase ( = 11) and Global Health ( = 66) and Google scholar ( = 63) and from previous ( = 23). From 8,962 of eligible sanitary workers, about 4,742 (54%), 1714 (19%) and 1,441 (16%) were sewage, sweepers and solid waste workers, respectively. A total study ( = 51) were eligible for occupational health and safety outcomes. Of these, respiratory problems accounted 27 (52%) and Gastroenteritis 14 (27%).
Despite a large number of studies to date provides sanitary employees all over the world face occupational-related risks, hence more research is needed to enhance and quantify illness burden among sanitary workers.
卫生工作者在各种工作环境中接触到各种职业危害，这可能导致与职业相关的结果。因此，本综述的目的是确定全球卫生工作者的职业健康和安全结果。
使用 PRISMA 作为流程图，使用 PICOS 作为综述问题。从数据库和其他方法中搜索 2000 年至 2022 年发表的英文研究。使用布尔逻辑（AND、OR）、MeSH 和关键词：（OccupationOR JobOR Work）AND（Occupational related respiratory Symptoms*OR Disease）AND [Solid waste collectors（SWCs）*OR Street sweepers（SS）*OR Sewage workers and waste treatment（STWs）] AND（Countries）。
从全球 23 个国家共确定了 228 项研究。通过 PubMed（=40）、Medline（=25）、Embase（=11）和 Global Health（=66）和 Google scholar（=63）以及之前的研究（=23）发现了研究。在 8962 名符合条件的卫生工作者中，约有 4742 名（54%）、1714 名（19%）和 1441 名（16%）分别是污水、清扫工和固体废物工人。共有 51 项研究符合职业健康和安全结果的条件。其中，呼吸道问题占 27 项（52%），肠胃炎占 14 项（27%）。
尽管迄今为止有大量研究表明，世界各地的卫生工作者都面临着与职业相关的风险，但仍需要更多的研究来加强和量化卫生工作者的疾病负担。
