A Documentary On Health, Safety and Dignity of Sanitation Workers

Abstract

My documentary is an expository documentary. This film aims to draw attention to sanitation workers who face substantial occupational and environmentalist risk. The sanitation employees who are most exposed during sanitation will be covered in this documentary. A plethora of social issues are affecting society. Dehumanizing sanitation workers is one of them. It is crucial to talk about the health and safety of these employees who keep our surroundings clean and safe despite getting sick and unclean. The true heroes of the country are sanitation workers, and we should not disregard them. In addition to health risks at work, they also encounter prejudice and disrespect from those who have contempt for their labour. The public needs to be made aware of this problem in order to provide them with the safety measures and respect they deserve. Due to their strenuous job, confinement in small areas, and exposure to potentially hazardous materials, sanitation workers are more likely to contract many diseases and infections. There is a need to visually represent the needs and concerns of these employees to the general public to aware them of the challenges sanitation workers face on daily basis. This documentary will encourage viewers to treat them with love, respect and equality. It will inspire the decision makers and authorities to provide safety equipment’s, give health benefits and support to make a better living for these less privileged workers. Furthermore, it will help the audience develop empathy for them. This issue is to be properly eliminated, therefore it is imperative to comprehend the lives of sanitation employees, the problems they encounter on a daily basis, and how it impacts their quality of life.
