Abstract
It is well known that informal workers in developing countries are exposed to occupational health problems (OHPs), and they work unsafely. However, little is known about how their religious beliefs influence their safety behavior at the workplace. This study explores the interaction between the automobile artisans' religious beliefs and their workplace safety behavior. Forty three male artisans (eitherChristian: n=17; or Muslim: n=26)were purposively interviewed. Even though theirreligious teachings are against risk-taking, the artisans tookrisks at their workplace. Specific programs like seminars and variousoutreaches for workers in religious settings influence their perception of OHPprevention. Religious organizations have a role to play in OHP prevention.
