Study data set

This is our study data set.<br>Increased urbanization in Uganda has exerted pressure on the existing sanitation facilities including sewer systems and fecal-waste treatment plants increasing health, and environmental risks to sanitation workers and the public. Sanitation workers are also exposed to biohazards while working, which poses a great threat to their health. This study assessed utilization of personal protective equipment (PPE) and associated factors among sanitation workers in fecal-waste management plants in Uganda’s regional cities. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 417 sanitation workers in fecal waste treatment plants in nine cities. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire uploaded on Kobo collect software and analyzed in Stata version 14 software.Majority (95.0%) of the study participants were males, 46.5% were above 30 years and 60.7% consistently utilized PPE in the 30 days prior to the study.
