Number of death and injury from the farm accidents in Hokkaido increases exponentially by year in proportion to the propagation of large farm machinery. The death and injury rate are 1.9 and 27.5 respectively per 10, 000 workers in 1974.
This analysis was held to get information for safety work which is derived from 1663 accident cases in last two years.
1) About 9% of the reported accidents are the animal-related injuries. And apporoximately 12% are occurred in burn and other structures around farm, and most of them are slip or falls of the workers (Table 2).
The remaining 79% are the machine-related injuries (Table 3, 6, 7).
2) The tractor and it's implements are involved in 36% of the total injuries. Over-turns and runover of the tractor have the highest fatality rate for the machine-related injuries. While transporting job are involved in 11%, and over two third of them are due to falls on the different level.
The remaining 31% are due to stationaly or selfpropelled machines.
3) Less than a third of all injuries were due to “falls” of man on the same or different level, and being “struck by” or “caught in” the machine parts accounted for nearly another one third of the all injuries.
4) The information of labour scientist will be a great help in producing the program of accident prevention.
