It is quite unlikely for you to get injuries during your wwoofing experience. Working practices of the host are often sound. The farmers often rely on their ability to think practically while on their feet and some may not have knowledge of the ‘Health and Safety’ guidelines. If you are uncomfortable with a task that you have been asked to undertake try to assess if you can do it when guided. If you are quite weary about it you may inform your hosts about it politely.
