Health and Safety Hazards Associated with Farming [PDF]

AAOHN Journal, 1993
Farming is a hazardous occupation with a unique combination of exposures and psychosocial factors that often vary with the type of operation. Some hazards are unique to farming; others are common in industry. Many who farm also work at other jobs. Even for non-agricultural companies, farm related illnesses and injuries can be costly in terms of lost ...
