Quantitative data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire via multistage simple random sampling. Concurrently, qualitative data were collected through key informant interviews and focus group discussions guided by semistructured interview guides. The quantitative data were analysed using Stata V.14, and associations between variables were examined using multivariable logistic regression. The results were presented as adjusted ORs with 95% CIs, and statistical significance was set at p&lt;0.05.

PPE use was positively associated with larger household size, workplace PPE availability, supervision, higher cues to action and greater self-efficacy, whereas perceived barriers were associated with lower odds of PPE use. Qualitative findings complemented these results by showing that inconsistent PPE provision, inadequate occupational health training, weak enforcement of safety regulations, precarious employment conditions and persistent social stigma contributed to poor occupational safety practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sanitation workers in Addis Ababa have limited access to safe sanitation services and suboptimal PPE use.
