The leading causes of farm injuries were hand tools (65.7%). The most frequently involved tools were spades and sickles. The main cause of hand tool injuries was repetitive work, which lead to fatigue and slippage of hand tools from the hand. The study indicated that preadolescent workers are highly prone to injuries in their occupation, mostly affecting the toes (27.8% and 26.3%) and fingers (24.8% and 25%) in both male and female preadolescents, which consequently affected their health, productivity and work performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2018-0178_s_995\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study concludes that (1) agricultural injuries affecting different body parts such as toes, fingers, feet and ankles.
