Being an oyster farmer involves significant physical effort and precise actions to raise quality oysters.
Repeating the same movements: washing, sorting, and grading tires the arms and shoulders.
Handling heavy loads, such as bags or equipment from the parks, puts a strain on the back.
Add to this long hours of standing and often awkward postures, and the risk of continuous fatigue or even MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders) quickly increases. The key? Regular breaks and wearing an exoskeleton to reduce fatigue and preserve the body.
