Brickmaking is labour-intensive, mostly unskilled work, and requires different levels of skill in different parts of brickmaking. Each worker has a specific function and has to be highly skilled and specialised in that work. Brick kilns in India are mostly manually operated. The process of jalaai involves baking green bricks and strengthening the bricks for a specified time. The workers who perform this task are known as Jalaai workers. Jalaai workers have to endure high heat stresses while working on the kiln top against the background of general environmental heat. This study was focused on the Jalaai workers and the challenges that they face while working, their occupational health hazards, and their possible solutions. This project, in particular, was aimed at reducing the radiant heat being experienced by the workers, with special reference to their face and neck region.
