Abstract

Occupational health and safety (OHS) has been a first-rate challenge globally spreading from commercial to agriculture sectors. A range of hazards having undesirable consequences are associated in farming like infection by pathogens, injuries from exposure, physiological disorders, poisoning, metabolism infections, and musculoskeletal disorders, etc. According to data from the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” (CDC, 2013), agriculture is one of the three most dangerous occupations in terms of work-related injuries and diseases. This can be achieved in the agricultural sector, with special attention to health and safety issues in this sector (Jugmohan, 2013). The agricultural workers have to work in hazardous condition like exposure to sunlight, dust, dirt etc. while performing different activities like weeding, harvesting, threshing, de-husking, cleaning and packaging of crops. Many of them were not aware about the harmful effect created by strong UV light of the Sun and other microorganisms mixed with soil and also dust particles.
