    [abstract] => <p>Ship-breaking is the process of dismantling an obsolete vessel&rsquo;s structure for scrap. In India, the Alang ship-breaking yard is one of the active yards, which is consider to be the world&rsquo;s largest ship-breaking yard. In developing countries like India, the ship-breaking activity is labour-intensive and also consider as one of the hazardous industries. International Labour Organization also recognized that ship-breaking activity is harmful for human health. Health problems are common for all ship-breaking yards in the world and also for Alang. The main aim of the present paper is to examine the determinants of health at Alang ship-breaking yard and also to identify the various associated factors with health of the workers therein. The findings of the study show that few common diseases are more dangerous outside the yard and 211 out of 300 workers faced health issues. It has also been found from the probability analysis that 9 out of 100 workers are vulnerable to illness at the yard. This ratio is very high for an organized industry in India.</p>
