In the present research work, Protective clothing/accessories were designed, developed and field tested to assess their suitability among farm families to combat occupational health hazards. For farm women three types of face masks i.e. beak mask, hood mask, scarf with mask and for farm men two types of masks i.e.cap with mask and hood with mask were developed along with both upper and lower garments.The findings revealed that most of the developed protective clothing/accessories were found highly suitable during field activities by both farm men and women.
