Overall, the well-being health status level in workplace was recognized in the above average and average 47.3 and 44.7%. Three most common barriers of physical occupational environment were reported: too hot and cold 40.7%, noise (38.3%), and dust particle (37.3%) followed by narrow space (34.8%), and poor lighting (16.5%), respectively.
