“…Isto pode confundir em relação a real periculosidade desses químicos pelos agricultores que tem dificuldade em ler e interpretar, aumentando os riscos de intoxicação por esses produtos, uma vez que agrotóxicos considerados pouco tóxicos ainda assim podem oferecer riscos de intoxicação dependendo do nível de exposição ao produto. Agricultores com baixo nível de escolaridade, no geral, não detém conhecimento sobre os riscos ocupacionais relacionados às atividades agrícolas, e tampouco recebem instruções sobre saúde ocupacional e segurança no trabalho (Bahşi & Kendi, 2019), o que pode contribuir para a ocorrência de intoxicação e acidentes de trabalho.…”

Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar como ocorre o manejo de agrotóxicos utilizados no cultivo de grãos e sua relação com a saúde e o ambiente em um município da região da Serra Catarinense. Foram entrevistados 79 agricultores que cultivam grãos (soja, milho e feijão) para coleta de informações sociodemográficas e de suas propriedades, sobre o uso, transporte, armazenamento e descarte das embalagens vazias. Quase metade dos agricultores transporta agrotóxicos em carro fechado, junto com outros produtos e não possui local exclusivo para o armazenamento dos produtos. Além disso, 26,6% deles relataram não receber assistência técnica, 25,3% compram agrotóxico sem receita e 5,1% não realizam logística reversa das embalagens. Foram utilizados 40 tipos de agrotóxicos diferentes no cultivo de grãos, sendo o herbicida glifosato o mais utilizado, seguido fungicida propinebe e o inseticida acefato. Tendo em vista o modelo agrícola baseado no monocultivo, que impõe aos agricultores a utilização dos agrotóxicos, pode-se observar que os resultados obtidos nesse estudo constituem-se em um problema de saúde pública uma vez que o transporte, armazenamento e, principalmente, o descarte inadequado de resíduos e das embalagens vazias, podem ocasionar contaminação nos diversos compartimentos ambientais, bem como, à saúde humana.

Agricultural activities are fundamental to societies, including the planting, growing, harvesting and processing of agricultural crops. However, there are a large number of occupational risks that can arise during the course of agricultural activities. These risks could result in serious injury or even death. This requires introducing and providing the relevant bodies and workers with knowledge, perception and awareness of the risk. The present study assessed the available reports on occupational health and safety using a bibliometric analysis and dimension reduction approach. Briefly, the reports were extracted from SCOPUS database. We identified 943 relevant and available peer-reviewed publications from the Scopus database. These were published between 1956 and 2022. The retrieved documents were analysed with the R-studio based software Bibliometrix. For the analysis, co-occurrences of networks, thematic maps and trending topics were analyzed. The results of the present study show that the time span of the documents ranges from 1956 to 2022 and these documents, including journals, books, book chapters and conference papers, were disseminated in 313 different sources. The estimated annual growth rate of these documents is 6.35%. Even the first paper dates back to the 1950s, the average age of the documents are 10.7. Considering the spatial distribution of the documents, USA topped at the list and was followed by Australia, Brazil, Italy, Canada, UK, and China. It is interesting to note that 'confined spaces' were found to be the trending topic according to the trend topic analysis of the keywords. Also, after the basic keywords (occupational health and safety and agriculture) of the study, ergonomics was the core keyword of the relevant analysis. Critically, the level of co-operation between countries was very low, with a rate of 0.025-0.207 for co-operation between countries (MCPs). For Turkey, the MCP was found to be 0.000. According to the thematic map, the motor theme is composed of two major clusters. One relates to food safety, risk analysis, knowledge and awareness and hygiene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind to identify the key issues in occupational health and safety in the agricultural industry. Therefore, the study has potential to contribute to the field.

An in-depth review of literature was done in this study which was further followed by consultation and discussion with experts and farmers in the agricultural sectors of Odisha (India) in view of the adoptability perception and behaviours of farmers towards the health and safety practices. Then, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis was employed in order to evaluate the current agricultural safety practices by the farmers and its impact for a sustainable agriculture. Further, on the basis of the data and information obtained from the farmers as well as the experts, the major barriers in context with the sustainability indicators (social, environmental, and economic) for the adoption of health and safety practices were obtained followed by the use of the Fuzzy-COPRAS method to rank the barriers in order of their preferences.
