Abstract
Background Agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations in the world. The aim of an occupational health service (OHS) is to reduce the risk of work-related diseases, occupational diseases and injuries and to promote workers’ health. In Finland, they are part of the public health care system, but for farmers OHS is voluntary.Keywords
