The article presents the principles of modeling the physical load assessment of farmers using Bayesian Network technology. Despite rapid development of mechanization and automation of work processes in agriculture, many farmers use their own physical strength, such as manual handling of loads. There are periods in which a farmer performs several or even a dozen of variety activities during the 24 hours. It often happens that all these activities do in a hurry, without rest, working after several hours a day, which further strengthens his physical load. The variety of activities often causes problems with the use indicators to assess the physical load gauges, so Bayesian Network technology was used to develop the evaluation model.
