| Abstract: | SUMMARY A questionnaire survey was conducted among 10,000 farmers of a total farmer population of 73,000. The primary questions to the farmers were related to injuries they may have had in the previous year which made it difficult for them to carry out normal daily work for one or more days. Responses were received from 7,800 farmers. The results of this survey show that 6? of the farmers had such an injury. The number of injuries per million working hours was 29. Nineteen percent of the injuries were caused by animals, 16? by uneven and slippery surfaces and 15? by tractors and equipment. |
