Abstract EN
Injuries during cultivation of land are the significant causes of recession for an agricultural country like Bangladesh.
Thousands of tools are used in agricultural farm having much probability of getting injury at their workplaces.
For the injury prevention, proper hand tool designs need to be recommended with ergonomic evaluations.
This paper represents the main causes of agricultural injuries among the Bangladeshi farmers.
Effective interventions had been discussed in this paper to reduce the rate of injury.
This study was carried out in the Panchagarh district of Bangladesh.
Data on 434 agricultural injuries were collected and recorded.
About 67% injuries of all incidents were due to hand tools, and the remaining 33% were due to machinery or other sources.
Though most of the injuries were not serious, about 22% injuries were greater than or equal to AIS 2 (Abbreviated Injury Scale).
The practical implication of this study is to design ergonomically fit agricultural hand tools for Bangladeshi farmers in order to avoid their injuries.
