Abstract

This study focuses on the process of farming accidents to determine the trend of accidents in paddy fields and upland fields. The patterns of frequent accidents in paddy fields and upland fields included a vehicle collides with a stationary object during tilling and leveling work, which accounted for 17 % of all property damage accidents, and 80 % of the damaged stationary objects included “water supply and drainage equipment” and “walls or fences.” The victims of farming accidents were not limited to farmers; non-farmers were also involved in the accidents and suffered bodily injuries. It is necessary to change the target of caution according to the nature of work to reduce accidents.
