Agriculture and Livestock
Agricultural and livestock businesses combine outdoor work, seasonal activity, machinery, animals, chemicals and changing environments.
The risk assessment must consider plant protection products, biological agents, noise, vibration, manual handling, vehicle use, weather and isolated work.
Health surveillance under Legislative Decree 81/2008 should be practical and suited to the workforce and the season.
Assessments for agricultural work
Seasonal planning and clear records are essential when employees move between tasks or sites.
Prevention should address both the health of workers and the continuity of agricultural operations.
Occupational health
Health assessments to evaluate
The competent physician defines examinations around the specific risks of each role. They may include:
- Respiratory tests: Dust, chemicals and environmental exposure
- Audiometry: Machinery and noise
- Musculoskeletal assessment: Manual handling and repetitive work
- Vision tests: Machinery and precision work
- Blood and urine tests: Chemical or biological exposure
- Drug and alcohol tests: Driving and safety-critical tasks
- Specific checks: Role and season-specific risks
All examinations belong in a personalised health protocol aligned with Legislative Decree 81/2008 and the actual role and workplace.
