This study investigated common health challenges in welding workshops in Orodo. This study aims to determine the use of personal protective equipment among welders, and levels of awareness of occupational hazards and complaints among welders. The descriptive cross- sectional research design was adopted for the study of a population of 400 welders in Orodo from an official source. A sample size of 400 welders, drawn using a proportionate random sampling technique took part in the study. Cronbach Alpha Coefficient test was used for the reliability of the instrument and a reliability of 0.86 was got. The data collected were analyzed using percentages to answer the research questions whereas figures and Chi-square was used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that the level of knowledge about occupational hazards of the welders was relatively high in the categories. The findings also revealed that there were significant differences in knowledge of occupational hazards among the welders based on age, work experience, and level of education at p<0.50 respectively.
