The use of pesticides in the agricultural sector in Indonesia has increased significantly, along with the high dependence of farmers on these chemicals to protect crops from pests. However, inappropriate use of pesticides and minimal awareness of the importance of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) has resulted in a high risk of poisoning and health problems for farmers. This study uses a literature review method to analyze the role of OHS awareness, especially the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in preventing health risks due to pesticide exposure. The results of the study indicate that low knowledge and application of OHS among farmers are the main factors in the high number of cases of pesticide poisoning. OHS education and training have proven effective in improving preventive behavior and reducing health complaints among farmers. However, there is still a gap between knowledge and practice in the field, so that ongoing and contextual educational interventions are needed. Consistent application of OHS principles not only protects the health of farmers but also supports healthier and more sustainable agriculture
