Being an oyster farmer involves significant physical effort and precise actions to raise quality oysters.
Repetitive movements: washing, sorting, and grading tires the arms and shoulders out.
Handling heavy loads, such as bags or equipment from the parks, strain the back.
Long hours of standing and often awkward postures, quickly increase the risk of continuous fatigue or even MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders). Regular breaks and wearing an exoskeleton to reduce fatigue and preserve the body can be the key.
