In this study, farmers have been asked about subjects such as: what extent each of the natural and human hazards (listed in the questionnaire) caused perception of hazard in them. To evaluate the efficiency of farmers, related factors such as income, spending, interest and motivation, ability and skill, number of hours worked and the other factors have been examined. Personal reports of farmers about their quality of work life have been studied too. Another goal has been investigating the relationship between farmers' personal characteristics (independent variables) with three variables: their Occupational hazard perception, efficiency and quality of work life (dependent variables). Spearman and Pearson correlation test has been used for this purpose. According to research, three questionnaires (Occupational hazard perception questionnaire, efficiency and quality of life questionnaire) have been designed and set up. The Components of each questionnaire are as fallows: after reviewing the experiences of domestic and foreign experts, library studies, observation case study, Interviews with experts Agricultural Jihad Organization, farmers and agricultural Professors of Geography and Rural Planning and Management were identified.

Findings of Research
The obtained average for farmer Occupational hazard perception (34/115) indicated that the farmers feel hazard in their jobs, in a high level. Survey about the Quality of Work Life responses indicated that 59 percent of farmers were satisfied and 23% were dissatisfied. Farmers who have higher incomes and those who have participated in Jihad Agriculture extension classes, have been less faced with the Occupational hazard perception.

The results showed that there was negative correlation at 99% level between the Occupational hazard perception of farmers and efficiency of them. This meaned that with increasing Occupational hazard perception of farmers, their efficiency was low, and vice versa. Also there was negative correlation at 99% level between the Occupational hazard perception of farmers and their quality of work life. In other words, increasing the Occupational hazard perception of farmers, lowers their quality of work life; and vice versa.
