Abstract

Background and objectives: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH is a very important issue in all sectors, and particularly, agriculture. Agriculture is a potentially hazardous industry associated with many occupational injuries and illnesses. Knowledge and practice of farmers and their educational needs is essential for preparation of a suitable educational package. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and practice of farmers in regards to the OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH in Qom agriculture industry.Methods: Two hundred Qom farmers were randomly entered into this cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was designed for data collection and the farmers were interviewed. SPSS 11.5 was used for data analysis.Results: We found that farmers have a low level of knowledge (10%) in regard to occupational respiratory, gastrointestinal and renal disorders. The lowest level of knowledge was related to the preventive measures including not blowing the nozzle of the pesticide sprayer (18%), noise reduction measures (18.5%), and application of sunscreen (20%). The most undesirable practices observed were wearing of filter mask (8%) and observance of safety measures for tractors’ driver cabin.Conclusion: Present findings suggest that farmers have inadequate knowledge in regard to occupational disorders. Therefore, effective interventions to increase their level of knowledge and safety of their occupational behavior are recommended.
