Beschreibung
'When Music Hurts: Occupational Health Among Traditional Wedding Band Musicians' explores the hidden occupational health challenges faced by traditional wedding band musicians who bring celebration, culture, and happiness to society through their music. While their performances are an essential part of Indian weddings and social events, the health risks associated with this profession often remain unnoticed. This book presents an in-depth study of the working conditions, occupational exposures, and health status of band musicians, focusing on issues such as prolonged noise exposure, hearing problems, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory difficulties, physical strain, psychological stress, and lifestyle-related health concerns. The study highlights how long working hours, repetitive instrument playing, heavy instrument handling, irregular employment patterns, and challenging performance environments influence the overall well-being of these workers. Based on field observations and occupational health assessment among band workers, the book emphasizes the need for awareness, preventive measures, ergonomic practices, hearing protection, and improved healthcare support.
