submit

Explanation:

• Heat: Working outdoors in summer, especially operating machinery like a tractor, can expose one to high temperatures, increasing the risk of heat - related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
• Vibration: Tractors are known to produce significant vibrations. Prolonged exposure to vibration can lead to various health issues, including hand - arm vibration syndrome (if operating controls that vibrate) and can also affect the musculoskeletal system.
• Noise: Tractors are noisy machines. Excessive noise exposure can cause hearing loss over time.

Radiation is not typically a significant physical hazard in this context (unless there is some non - standard equipment with radioactive components, which is highly unlikely in a normal farming tractor - operation scenario).

Answer:

Heat, Vibration, Noise
