Abstract
In the agriculture sector, farmers do supply chain activity on their fields continuously in difficult weather conditions without using any modern technology or tools. Their work is usually manual and repetitive in nature. So, farmers suffer from musculoskeletal disorders and body pain. The use of tractors has in some way resolved the heavy manual work of farmers. However, the noise and vibration of tractors during work also have a negative impact on their bodies. The discomfort and static posture of farmers during tractor driving on rough agricultural ground led to muscle pain and stiffness. Sometimes slipped discs occur due to jerks on rough ground. So, this study is aimed at finding the risk factors that lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) in tractor operators or farmers using tractors for agricultural purposes. Hence, a study is conducted on farmers driving tractors for performing agricultural operations with ergonomic tools such as rapid upper limb assessments (RULA) and quick exposure checks (QEC).
