Agricultural safety and health is an aspect

of occ upational safety and health in the agricultural
workplace. It specifically addresses the health and
safety of farmers, farm workers, and their families. [1].
Contrary to perceived belief and notions of work in the agricultural
landscape, agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the US, with a
variety of factors causing injuries and death in the workplace. [2] Many of the
injuries, long-term or short, prevalent in the occupation are hearing
loss, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases, poisoning
from pesticides and chemicals, reproductive issues, and many other ailments.
[3]
These injuries are caused mainly by loud noises from machinery, stress from
transporting heavy objects, gases and fumes like methane and from chemicals,
and other various causes, respectively.
The agriculture industry is one of the most dangerous occupations and has led
to thousands of deaths due to work-related injuries in the US. In 2011 the
fatality rate for farmworkers was 7 times higher than that of all the workers in
the private industry, a difference of 24.9 deaths for every 100,000 people as
opposed to 3.5 deaths for every 100,000 people in the private industry.
[4]
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimated
that 374 farmers and farmworkers died due to a work-related injury in 2012,
tractor overturns being the number one cause death. An average of 113 youth
between the ages of 16–19 years die annually from agriculture related injuries
(1995-2002). About 167 farmworkers each day are affected by a lost-work-
time injury in which 5% of them suffer from permanent damage.[5] Non-fatal
injuries that farmworkers are at high risk for include work-related lung
problems, hearing loss due to noise, skin diseases, various cancers due to
exposure to certain chemicals as well as prolonged exposure to the sun. [
. Farm shops are the scene of many accidents. Most of these accidents involve
hand and eye injuries. A survey by the National Safety Council estimated there
are 15,000 eye injuries on American farms annually. These injuries are painful
and expensive, and can result in partial or total blindness. Other injuries
involve burns, cuts, abrasions and sprains to various part of the body. An
important part of agricultural mechanics shop classes in learning how to work
safely and identify unsafe conditions.
 Hazardous Equipment- refers to plant equipment which by their very

nature has the potential of causing severe or fatal injury to the worker
or operator.
 Hazardous work processes- refer to work operations or practices
performed by a worker in the establishment or workplace in
conjunction with or as an incident to such operations or practices and
which expose the employees to hazards likely to cause any disabling
injury, illness, death or physical or psychological harm.
 Occupational hazard- refers to various environmental factors or
stresses that can cause sickness, impaired health, or significant
discomfort in workers and can be classified as chemical, physical,
biological or ergonomic.
 Personal Protective Equipment- refers to devices worn by workers to
protect them against hazards in the work environment including but not
limited to safety helmet, safety spectacles, face shields, ear plugs/muffs,
respirators, chemical gloves, safety belt/harness, working clothes, and
safety shoes.
 Threshold Limit Value - refers to the Philippine Occupational Safety
and Health Standards set for airborne concentrations of substances and
represents conditions under which workers may be repeatedly exposed
for an 8-hours workday at a total of 48 hours per week, without adverse
health effects; (OSHS).
