The agricultural sector is considered to be one of the most dangerous businesses in the world when it is examined in terms of occupational health and safety because of its many different dangers and risks. Most labors in this sector fall outside the scope of the Labor Law No. 4857 with the occupational health and safety law and relevant regulations. The majority of enterprises in the agricultural sector are composed of less than 50 employees or family businesses operating on their own behalf. These groups are excluded from the scope of Labor Law and Occupational Health and Safety Law. As a result, the provisions of the legislation on occupational safety are applied only in large agricultural holdings and cases such as work accidents, working days losses, occupational diseases cannot be followed legally in small enterprises. In this study, the out-ofscope coverage of the agricultural sector employees in related laws and regulations, the specific working and application characteristics of agriculture and the status of the employees (child or young worker, pregnant women, elderly people, etc.) were evaluated together. In the evaluations, labor statistics, literature, labor law and occupational health and safety laws were taken into consideration and recommendations were put forward.
