| Abstract |
In a broad sense, the agricultural sector includes crop and livestock farms, maintenance of parks, forestry work, rural sector crafts, certain food industries and agricultural service organizations. Several hundred types of occupations are represented in this sector, totalling around one million workers in France, of which most are temporary or seasonal workers. For nine types of occupations selected on the basis of their well-defined nature as well as in terms of the number of persons employed, the most frequent occupational hazards, preventive measures and medical supervision procedures are discussed. These occupations include: driving of tractors or agricultural machinery; work on pig farms; work in horticulture and market gardening; viticulture; forestry work; landscaping work; work in grain cooperatives; work in dairies; work in slaughterhouses and in the meat industry. |
