workers Research design :descriptive design was used Setting: the study was
conducted at 53 gas stations in Assuit governorate Sample: convenience sample
include 260 gas station workers Tools: two tools were used for data collection, 1st
tools: interviewing questionnaire sheet for the workers divided into five parts:
part one: socio-demographic characteristics and work characteristics, part two:
workers medical history, part three: occupational health hazards exposure in the
work place part four: gas station worker’s health status assessment, part five:
worker’s knowledge about of occupational health hazards& work related
prevented measures 2nd tools: observational checklist for workers practice for
work related preventive measures, and gas station work environment Results: the
study revealed 33.8 % of workers age was >30-40 years old. Mean 38.42 SD
±9.22, 6.1% of gas station workers suffered from Gastritis, 4.6% of them suffered
from varicose vein, and 93.8% of the workers Define Chemical hazards as hazard

Conclusion: the study concluded there was statistically significant relation
between knowledge of gas station workers and their age, education level, monthly
income. Although there was statistically significant relation between gas station
worker’s exposure to Occupational health hazard and their education level highly,
There was statistically significant relation between worker’s knowledge and their
occupational hazard exposure and there was Negative correlation and significant
between hazard exposure and the Working environment , there was statistically
significant relation of gas station workers between knowledge and their practice in
work related preventive measure. Recommendation: the study recommended that
educational program related to gas station’s health hazards, safety measures
should be conducted.
