    Farm work is highly diverse and can be intense during growing seasons. It involves machinery and tools, close contact with animals and changing environmental conditions. Farmers face many dangers as part of their everyday duties, among them being chemical hazards such as pesticides, fuels and lubricants, mineral fertilizers and disinfectants. This risk is followed by dust generated when growing plants, feeding animals and cleaning the farm. Mineral fertilizers should be applied in a way that is safe for the health of humans, animals and the environment. Work related to the application of fertilizers may be performed only by healthy adults after appropriate training: any sick workers require medical certification before working with mineral fertilizers. In all cases, direct contact with the skin and eyes should be avoided, and mineral fertilizers, especially dusty ones, should only be spread on windless days. Pesticides are among the most harmful compounds to which farmers are exposed. The user is at risk during their use, as well as while they are stored in a warehouse when disposing of residues and empty packaging. A thorough knowledge of risk factors significantly increases work safety in agriculture.
