ABSTRACT
Occupational hazards affect personnel safety and health in the work environment. This study investigated the occupational hazards encountered among library personnel in two universities in South South Nigeria; Delta State University, Abraka and Niger Delta University, Ammasoma. 182 library personnel participated in the study. Simple percentages and mean were used to answer the research questions while t-test was used in analysing the hypotheses. Findings revealed that library personnel encounter occupational hazards in the process of performing their duties. There was no significant difference in report of occupational hazards encountered by male and female library personnel in the process of performing their duties. It was recommended that library personnel should be adequately remunerated because they encounter occupational hazards when rendering information services to members of the university community for teaching, learning and research work. Key Words Occupational Hazards, Library Personnel, University Libraries, Occupational Safety.
