Abstract

This study examines the pressing issues related to working conditions in the viticulture sector and their impact on worker health and economic productivity. The main occupational hazards are identified, and practical measures for their mitigation are proposed. The research results indicate that improving working conditions not only addresses social concerns but also delivers economic benefits to employers, with calculated investments paying off through higher productivity, improved product quality, and increased worker loyalty.
