摘要: OBJECTIVEs Our objectives were four fold: (1) to provide a contemporary update on the prevalence of hazards farms; (2) document safety practices farm owner-operators; (3) measure investments in and (4) assess their relationship with injury within current regulatory environment. Methods The study sample included 1218 farms that provided reports via mailed questionnaire as part larger prospective cohort study. Participating operated individual family (56%), corporations (26%), or formal partnerships (17%). Leading commodities produced grain (88%) beef dairy cattle (42%). median acreage was 1480 acres, 28% operating more than 2500 acres. Analyses descriptive etiological focused hazards, safety, work habits, how they related injury. Results Physical conditions associated operator attitudes beliefs often inconsistent safe practices. Investments also engagement inversely (p After adjustment for confounding, these decreased risks injury, but not serious Conclusions Reliance standards are mainly voluntary continues put some people at risk Yet those do comply obvious known measures likely have fewer exposures physical unsafe
