“…Reasons for facing health and safety risks were identi ed as alternatives. These are Awareness and lack of information, education/literacy level, transportation, insu cient vocational information, inadequate accommodation, and working conditions; age, gender and child employee; the use of appropriate personal protective equipment ( [46]; [41]; [47]; [48]; [20]). Alternatives are shown in Figure 5.…”

Background: Agriculture serves humanity as one of the most important professions. In Turkish agriculture, a structure in which small family businesses are more concentrated in agricultural production in rural areas is dominant. Health and safety is the most critical concern as those working in the sector often perform their activities in a dangerous, stressful and disturbing environment. All employees have the indisputable right to return to their families safely. For this employee's right, safety and health measures should be taken in the work areas. For this reason, this study it is aimed to list the factors that cause exposure to risks in the sector. Methods: Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods were used in the study. The weights of the criteria were calculated by the ANP method. The ranking of the alternatives was carried out with the PROMETHEE method. Results: Alternatives that cause exposure to risks in the agricultural sector are lack of awareness and knowledge, insufficient professional information, education/literacy level; age, gender, and child employee; inadequacy of appropriate personal protective equipment, transportation, accommodation, and working conditions. Conclusions: Occupational health and safety experts, ergonomists, doctors, engineers, manufacturers, IoT developers, and international organizations should cooperate to prevent employee health and safety risks.

“…Estudios internacionales muestran que las condiciones de vida y trabajo precarias de las personas migrantes que trabajan en agricultura tienen consecuencias directas en su salud y calidad de vida (11)(12)(13) . Por una parte, el acceso a una vivienda digna y otros recursos básicos como la alimentación, dependen de la percepción de ingresos.…”

“…Por último, las personas migrantes, especialmente aquellas en situación administrativa irregular, se enfrentan a barreras de acceso a los servicios sanitarios (6,(11)(12)21) que han sido agravadas durante la actual crisis sanitaria derivada de la pandemia del Covid19. Se sabe que, durante las crisis económicas, el deterioro de las condiciones de trabajo y empleo en los sectores más inestables como la agricultura, coloca a los trabajadores migrantes no calificados en una situación de gran inestabilidad produciendo efectos negativos en su salud (22) .…”

El trabajo agrícola de temporada en España se caracteriza por un gran desgaste físico, un bajo requerimiento de cualificación y unas precarias condiciones laborales. Estos elementos han generado que los autóctonos hayan ido abandonando paulatinamente este nicho laboral para ser remplazados por migrantes internacionales de una amplia variedad de orígenes. Otra particularidad de este mercado laboral es la corta duración de los puestos de trabajo al vincularse con las temporadas de cosecha del producto agrícola. Así, a lo largo del año, diferentes campañas que atraen a miles de personas en la búsqueda de un trabajo, desde la recolección del fruto rojo en Huelva hasta a la cosecha de la fruta dulce en Lleida durante el verano, pasando por la agricultura intensiva de mayor duración como la horticultura murciana y almeriense. El movimiento constante entre las diferentes explotaciones agrarias ha llevado a que este colectivo sea conocido como los temporeros.

“…The case-control study in agriculturists of Khon Kaen found that noise-induced hearing loss was 49.7%. 27 Work-related injuries had a prevalence of 20.1% among the farmers of the Phayao province 28 and the prevalence of heatrelated disease was also reported as 13.5 per 100,000 farmers, or 0.014%, in agriculturists of the Khon Kaen province. 29 Those work-related diseases and injuries in Thailand were identified by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10 th revision (ICD-10) 30 (https://icd.who.int/browse10/2019/en) and the specified Y96 external code (work related condition).…”

Background: Agriculturists exposed to health hazards are affected by increased occupational disease. This retrospective study aimed to investigate situations of work-related diseases and injuries among agriculturists in upper northeast Thailand. Methods: The secondary data of international classification of diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) case reports of occupational disease among farmers for 2014-2016, from the database of the Health Data Center (HDC), were used. We collected the number of registered farmers from the agricultural office and secondary data of ICD-10 from the hospital information system (HIS) of healthcare services in Udon Thani and Roi-Et provinces. The annual morbidity rate of occupational diseases was analyzed and presented at a rate per 100,000 farmers of the studied area. Results: Among farmers who visited healthcare service providers, lung disease, which was not reported as occupational disease of the HDC database, was the highest ranking of all diseases, followed by work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), noise- and heat-related diseases, and pesticide toxicity, respectively, while the injury rate was as high as that of WMSDs. The morbidity rate of Udon Thani was higher than that of Roi-Et province, whose rate was closer to the national rate. The number of farmers from the HDC database was not reflective of numbers of registered farmers, even though the case reports of the HDC was lower than that of the HIS with occupational ICD-10 codes, which might explain the underestimation of the morbidity rate of occupational disease. Conclusions: The morbidity rate of lung disease, noise- and heat-related diseases, and pesticide toxicity increased every year (2014-2016) and reflects the health problems among agriculturists in Thailand. The underestimation in the reported disease rate is explained from big data analysis by the rare recording of work-related cases among those agriculturists. Therefore, Thai agriculturists should be supported in registration with occupational diseases surveillance as holistic healthcare.
