Abstract

In this work, we considered the influence of age and years of experience of a welder on the job to the frequency of compliance to use of protective eyewear when on duty in Abakaliki metropolis. To get at this, well-structured questionnaire was prepared and administered randomly to some sampled welders from population of 101 welders housed within 67 welding workshops located in the area of the study. The data collected from the questionnaire was arranged and analyzed using Chi-square from where it was revealed statistically that neither age nor years of experience on the job has influence the welders’ compliance to the use of the protective eyewear while on duty in Abakaliki metropolis.
