Occupational and Nonoccupational Fatalities on U.S. Farms

Abstract

Benchmark data for farm fatalities are developed and analyzed by region and age groups. During 1969-71, occupational fatality rates for farmers and hired farmworkers were between 23.5 and 28 per 100,000 workers. The fatality rate for all farm residents and workers in 1973 was 16.2 per 100,000 persons, down from 17.7 in 1967. Fatalities occur with much greater frequency to persons age 55 and over than to persons under age 55. A greater proportion of self-employed farmworkers are in this higher risk age category than are hired workers, implying that overall occupational fatality rates for self-employed operators are higher than for hired workers.
