This book was released on 2016 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is a major industry in the U.S. with high rates of fatal and non-fatal occupational injuries. The dynamic nature of the U.S. agriculture industry, regional variations in farming practices, and the diverse workforce make surveillance of injuries challenging. A recent National Academies (U.S.) evaluation reported that data for non-fatal agricultural injury are scarce, and mainly available through national surveys. Limited data are available for employees in the agriculture sector, especially farm owners and operators. The objectives of this study were to- 1) review and evaluate existing survey-based systems for surveillance of non-fatal agricultural injuries on U.S. farms, and 2) determine the incidence of non-fatal agricultural injuries, and risk factors of injuries among farm operators in seven Midwestern states (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota), aka Central States region. This study evaluated six national-level surveys for non-fatal agricultural injuries using the updated Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for evaluating public health surveillance systems. The system evaluation used information from published reports, peer-reviewed articles, and surveillance system websites. The incidence of injuries and risk factors of injuries were evaluated using data from an annual Central States Farm and Ranch Injury Survey (CS-FRIS) linked with Census of Agriculture data. The CS-FRIS collected data from farm operators in the Central States region in 2011 (n=6953), 2012 (n=6912), and 2013 (n=7000). The evaluation of surveillance systems identified critical gaps- 1) under coverage of the farm population, 2) insufficient data quality and 3) lack of interoperability among systems reviewed, and with other data sources. The analysis of CS-FRIS data estimated an average 44,887 non-fatal agricultural injuries (6.8/100 operators) per year among farm operators in the Central States during 2011-13. About 88% of injuries were work-related, and 73% required professional medical care. Male gender, age between 35 and 64 years, farming occupation, and cattle and hog farming increased the risk of injury. In conclusion, the national-level survey-based systems in the U.S. have limited usability attributed to data limitations. The analyses of CS-FRIS data identified males, middle-aged groups (35-64), full-time farmers, and livestock farmers as high-risk groups for farm injuries, and injury prevention efforts for farm operators in the Central States region should consider these findings.

Download or read book Agricultural Health and Safety written by Stanley H Schuman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-07-29 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protect yourself from machinery accidents, skin cancer, pesticide exposure, and so much more! Maintaining safety on the farm is a greater challenge than ever. Farmers are trying to expand their farm size and increase production while coping with labor shortages, adverse weather, and equipment problems. Agricultural Health and Safety gives you an in-depth look at these issues and presents effective new approaches to intervention and education for farm health and safety problems. Agricultural Health and Safety discusses new research, education, and prevention programs that have been tested from Maine to California and from Australia to Sweden. These important scientific and analytical studies were presented at the 1996 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Conference in Iowa. In addition to suggesting new ways to deal with the recognized physical hazards of farming, Agricultural Health and Safety discusses the often neglected role of mental health. It examines the role of stress in causing accidents and the risks of depression and suicide among agricultural workers. Agricultural Health and Safety considers a broad range of problems and effective interventions, including: insurance incentives for safe farms accident-prevention programs training for responding to farm emergencies cutting the risks of accident for farm children the ergonomics of milking teaching farm youth about sun safety the risks of exposure to pesticides, fertilizers, and other environmental hazards Agricultural Health and Safety offers practical information on the broad spectrum of health and safety hazards in the farm setting and outlines effective strategies for eliminating them. In addition, it opens new avenues for further study and research. This comprehensive book is an essential resource for agricultural safety and health researchers, program professionals, health care providers in farming communities, professors and students in agromedicine and agricultural programs, and agricultural workers.
