Quantitative and qualitative knowledge of ergonomic analysis of grapevines pruning and wine harvesting with respect to postural load, repetitive movements of cutting hand and using different cutting tools was obtained. It could be demonstrated, that stress generated by working postures and repetitive movements combined with were a major problem of work., Ergonomic design deficits of the existing cutting hand tools was carried out.
