Review of the future of agriculture and  OSH

EU-OSHA | Review of the future of agriculture and OSH

Foresight on new and emerging risks in OSH

Agriculture and forestry are among the most dangerous professions in Europe, with a high level of accidents affecting the sustainability and viability of the sector. Over the last 10 years, there has been an average of over 500 registered deaths per year in the agriculture and forestry sector and over 150,000 non-fatal accidents (Eurostat, 2017). Recent research indicates that there is significant under-reporting of both fatal and non-fatal accidents in the agriculture and forestry sector throughout Europe (Merisalu et al., 2019). In many instances, national reporting also places agriculture and forestry top or almost top among sectors in terms of the level of risk.

Farmer health is a key issue in the sector. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the related OSH risks highlight the importance of health and working conditions in the sector with the European Commission establishing guidelines to protect seasonal workers, including their safety and health (EC, C2020 4813 final) and some Member States establishing guidelines for the agricultural sector (OSH wiki 2020 on COVID-19). Over 60 % of agricultural workers report having a limiting chronic disease and high levels of cardiovascular disease (CVD). According to an EU survey from 2012, workers from the agriculture sector were more likely than those in any other sector to report that their work affected their health (Eurofound, 2012). Eurostat (2010) also reported that work-related health problems occur more often in the ‘agriculture, hunting and forestry’ sector along with in the mining and quarrying sector than in any other sector. This is related to the fact that some of the least favourable job characteristics, such as manual work and atypical working hours, are more prevalent in these sectors. This report summarises a number of OSH risks that affect farmers and foresters. Pesticide-related risks, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), zoonoses, skin cancer, and stress and psychosocial issues are all major emerging and continuing risks in the sector that either have not been adequately managed or have been underestimated owing to lack of accurate data over the years.

This report reviews the future trends in agriculture and forestry, such as new technologies and climate change, identifies the resulting technological and organisational changes in the sector and defines the implications for OSH among farmers, foresters and other workers in this sector. The report looks at a number of potential emerging risks, particularly those that are the most imminent, namely those linked to digital evolution in the sector and resulting from climate change. The review aims to support policymakers at European and national levels in their development of strategies, regulations, and enforcement, guidance and support measures.

The report examines a number of issues affecting the future of farming and forestry: smart farming (precision farming, digitalisation, etc.) and other technology developments; climate change and environmental issues; society and consumer trends; the labour market and organisational issues; and international trade and economic considerations.

Smart farming (digitalisation and the use of new technologies) has been the subject of much attention in the sector, being identified as one of the few innovations that could potentially bring about a paradigm shift in productivity and increase food production.
