AUTHOR ABSTRACT
Farm
accident surveys were conducted in 21 states using standardized
definitions, forms, and sampling techniques. The pooled data
included 24,703 farms on which 4,176 injuries or illnesses
were recorded. Information on exposure to farm work was also
collected and was used to calculate detailed work injury rates.
An overall rate of 18.8 work injuries per million man-hours
of exposure was found. Of the 2,760 work injuries, 18% were
animal-related and 414 in-depth bi-level reports on these
injuries were available for analysis. A computer program called
TREESEARCH was used to identify characteristics and circumstances
of animal accidents that occur with statistically significant
frequency.
