“…In recent times, farm workers' occupational safety, health and their rights violation have received attention by researchers across the globe (Otero, 2010;Robinson et al, 2011;Barnetson, 2012;Dwomoh, et al, 2013;Svensson et al, 2013). As farm workers are highly involved in the production, harvesting, processing, storage and distribution of farm products, their health and safety are at risk characterized by poor hygiene and sanitation, infection from microbial organisms, lack of protective equipment and training programmes, increased longer hours of work, injuries and illness, lack of access to medical facilities, and poisoning from agrochemicals and as such, they must be protected against these hazards (Otero, 2010;NPASEP;Dwomoh et al, 2013;Svensson et al, 2013).…”
