Increasing rates of occupational injuries from 43.7% to 63.9% among solid waste collectors in sub Saharan Africa opens room for more research to be done. The study assessed the magnitude of occupational injuries and associated factors among solid waste collectors of Zoomlion Ghana Limited in the Accra Metropolis.
