| description | Hard work like climbing a tall coconut tree while balancing and stretching the whole body increases musculoskeletal discomfort and pain. Scratches, cuts and dermatitis problems cause serious health problems. Injury and accidents badly affect the human body, reducing farmers’ productivity and quality of work. Sometimes, they are physically incapable of performing such work or die. Sometimes, disasters and environmental conditions have a negative impact on coconut farming. The main aim of this study was to calculate the discomfort level of coconut farmers in the coastal districts of Odisha using the QEC (quick exposure checkup) tool of Ergofellow 3.0. |
