Abstract
An attempt was made in this chapter to explore the agricultural hazards in the farming sectors of Odisha in India. There were three main contributions. At first the agricultural hazard factors were identified by the use of literature and standard Nordic questionnaires. In the second part, the Best Worst Method (BWM) was used to rank the different hazards based on the risk factors involved. Finally, in the third part, an ergonomic evaluation was made by using both REBA and OWAS ergonomic tools, considering different postures taken by farmers in selected farming activities, and accordingly, the corrective measures (if any) were recommended.
