dc.description.abstractCommercial motorcycles have posed a lot of hazards usually in form of accidents which are often serious and fatal. Using ABU, Zaria as a case study, this survey aims to assess the occupational health hazards among motorcyclists. A cross sectional survey design was used for the study. Questionnaires were administered to 216 respondents. Majority of whom were in the age group of 30-34 years with mean age of 31.7 years. 83.4% had formal education ranging from primary to tertiary education and 74.5% of the respondents are of Hausa/Fulani extraction, 55.6% have been involved in an occupational hazard out of which 86.7% had road traffic accidents. Major outcome of accidents include bruises, lacerations and fractures. It is therefore concluded that accidental injury is a major form of occupational health hazard associated with commercial motorcyclists and recommended that the school management, motorcyclists and other stakeholders have a role to play in reducing these hazards.en_US
