Agricultural workers often operate heavy machinery and equipment such as tractors, combines, and harvesters. Accidents involving these machines can result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Pesticides, fertilisers, and other agricultural chemicals used to protect crops can pose health risks if not handled properly. Exposure to these chemicals through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion can cause chronic health problems.

Dust, mold, pollen, and other airborne particles present in agricultural environments can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma. Agricultural machinery, such as tractors and grain dryers, can generate high levels of noise, leading to hearing loss and other auditory problems among workers. Contact with animals, insects, and contaminated water sources can expose agricultural workers to infectious diseases such as leptospirosis, Q fever, and Lyme disease.
