In this modern complex world, stress at work is found to be
increasingly a common feature in day to day life. For the same reason, job
stress is one of the active areas in occupational health and safety research for
over last four decades and is continuing to attract researchers in academia and
industry. Job stress in process industries is of concern due to its influence on
process safety, and worker‘s safety and health. Safety in process (chemical and
nuclear material) industry is of paramount importance, especially in a thickly
populated country like India. Stress at job is the main vector in inducing work
related musculoskeletal disorders which in turn can affect the worker health
and safety in process industries. In view of the above, the process industries
should try to minimize the job stress in workers to ensure a safe and healthy
working climate for the industry and the worker. This research is mainly aimed
at assessing the influence of job stress in inducing work related musculoskeletal
disorders in chemical process industries in India
