What is Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM): PARM has the global mandate to contribute to sustainable agricultural growth

Occupational safety is a big issue of discussion for agricultural workers. The methods of working in the field in extreme climate totally depends on the environmental factor. Due to change in weather conditions, prices at the time of harvest could drop, hired labour may not be available at peak times, machinery and equipment could break down when most needed, animals might die, and government policy can change overnight. All of these changes are examples of the risks that farmers face in managing their farm as a business. All of these risks affect their farm profitability. Heavy rains and drought could also damage or even wipe out crops. Another source of production risk is equipment. The most common sources of risk factor are weather, climate, diseases, natural disasters, and market and environmental factor shocks. Agricultural workers need sufficient precaution and safety measures at the time of field and machine work to minimize risk factor. So, in this chapter, an effort is taken to prioritize safety majors by MAUT method.
