Abstract

Introduction: Occupational health among informal waste pickers in Peru
represents a public health issue. The aim of this study was to assess the
effectiveness of a multisectoral intervention program focused on occupational
safety and environmental health promotion among informal waste pickers in
Chota, Peru. Design: The study population consisted of 20 informal waste
pickers from the municipality of Chota, Cajamarca, Peru. A non-probabilistic
quota sampling technique was employed, and the sample was distributed across
six districts of Chota. The study was conducted in two phases: pre-test and posttest.
Results: There was a significant increase in the use of personal protective
equipment among participants, in adherence to tetanus vaccination (p = 0.018
< 0.05), and in the adoption of safety measures in the workplace (p = 0.001).
There was also an improvement in participants' understanding of the
transmission of infectious diseases by insects and animals (p = 0.047 < 0.05), and
in the practice of boiling water before consumption to prevent infectious
diseases (p = 0.035 < 0.05). Implications: The program contributed to improving
the occupational health of informal waste pickers by preventing infections and
occupational diseases and promoting best practices in workplace safety and
proper waste handling and disposal.
