These risks include mechanical and biomechanical hazards, such as injuries and musculoskeletal disorders caused by tasks like land preparation, manual planting, and cutting sugar cane. The study identifies the drivers and constraints for OSH and discusses possible intervention models in the sugar cane supply chain.
