Beyond Age and Cause: A Multidimensional Characterization of Fatal Farm Injuries in Ireland
TL;DR: Difficulty and variability in Farm Fatality Rate (FFR) measures are highlighted, a series of rates appropriate for assessments of farm safety are proposed, and their usage is demonstrated through an analysis of farm workplace deaths in Ireland between 2008-2016.

Beyond Age and Cause: A Multidimensional Characterization of Fatal Farm Injuries in Ireland
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used non-linear canonical correlation analysis (NLCCA) to identify similarities and differences between 274 fatal farm injuries, multiple interactions and correlations between two sets of variables were identified.

Trends in Work-Related Fatal Farm Injuries, Saskatchewan, Canada: 2005–2019
TL;DR: Application of the hierarchy of control to this workplace could reduce the risk of fatal injury, and in particular the high proportion of rollover injuries in children and the elderly population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Non-Automobile Rollover Accidents on Patient Outcomes at an Appalachian Level I Trauma Center.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated outcomes of patients involved in rollover accidents in non-automobile vehicles in a rural level I trauma center and found that older patients were significantly more likely to sustain an injury in a rollover accident when compared to those younger than 65.

Trends in Work-Related Fatal Farm Injuries, Saskatchewan, Canada: 2005–2019
TL;DR: In this paper , a study was conducted to estimate farm fatality rates and to describe patterns of fatal agricultural injuries on Saskatchewan farms from 2005 to 2019, where the majority (93.4%) of work-related fatalities were in males.

Perancangan desain kemasan buah sesuai batas beban yang direkomendasikan the national institute for occupational safety and health (niosh)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed three alternatives of fruit crate in different size in order to get the best LI value that it should be LI < 3, which is still too far from the limits recommended by NIOSH.

Effectiveness of roll-over protective structures in reducing farm tractor fatalities.
TL;DR: Evidence from Sweden and other Northern European countries clearly demonstrates that ROPS can essentially eliminate roll-over fatalities, and future research efforts should include the development of collapsible and telescoping ROPS that can be used in low clearance areas such as dairy barns and fruit orchards.

Agricultural tractor overturn deaths: Assessment of trends and risk factors
John R. Myers,Kitty J. Hendricks +1 more
TL;DR: Significant decreases in tractor overturn fatality rates were found for the Northeast and South regions, hired workers, crop farms, and in every age group except those less than 25 years of age between 1992 and 2007.

Statistics and Epidemiology of Tractor Fatalities - a Historical Perspective

TL;DR: Roll-over Protective Structures (ROPS) have been identified as the single best method of preventing tractor overturn-related deaths, yet only 38% of all tractors used on farms in the U.S. were equipped with ROPS in 1993.

State-specific ATV-related fatality rates: an update in the new millennium.
TL;DR: Helmet-use requirements seem to slightly mitigate ATV-related death, but training requirements do not, and West Virginia and Alaska continue to have the highest ATV fatality rates.
