Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most accident-prone industries in the United States. In 1990, the occupational injury incidence rate per 100 full-time workers in production agriculture was 12.3 on farms employing 11 or more workers, compared with 8.3 for all industries in the private sector. The occupational fatality rate for the broad category of firms called agriculture, forestry, and fishing was 23.8 per 100,000 full-time employees, compared with 4.3 for all private sector industries. Other data sources show even higher accident and fatality rates in agriculture. This study examines national sources of farm accident data and reviews selected farm safety studies on the nature and causes of farm injuries and illnesses, health and safety of youth, farm safety education, and methods of data collection.
