FATAL ACCIDENTS ON FARMS
SUBJECT OF RECENT USDA STUDY
President Eisenhower has pro
claimed July 21-27 1957 as Na
tional Farm Safety Week- Na
tional Farm Safety Week is a
campaign to prevent accidents
among farm families. It is spon
sored jointly by the National
Safety Council and the United
States Department of Agricul
ture and endorsed by all leading
farm organizations. The theme
'or 1957 is “Safety Makes Sense”.
Many of the accidents that kill
14,000 farm people each year—
that’s the average toll for 1950-55
-are caused by unsafe practices
and hazardous conditions that
could be corrected, according to
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture.
Some grim figures are report
ed in “Fatal Farm Accidents in
the United States 1949-53”, just
published by USDA’s Agricultur
al Research Service.
Farm work accidents killed an
average of 3.900 farm people each
year from 1950 through 1955, ac
cording to National Safety Coun
cil figures cited in the USDA re
port. Farm work mishaps injur
ed another 321,600 each year.
Fatal accidents in farm homes
took 3,300 lives and injured 548
300. Motor vehicle accidents
killed 6,000 farm people and hurt
an additional 210,000. Off-farm
accidents not involving motor ve
hicles killed 1,130 members of
farm families and injured 140,
000 each year from 1950-55.
Over 80 percent of fatal farm
accidents (not counting those in
the home or off the farm) in the
five-year period ending in 1953
were caused by machinery,
drownings, firearms, falls, ani
mals and insects, and burns in
that order.
In the various five-year age
groups, the highest number of
machinery-caused deaths occur
red to farm people between 55
and 59 years old. Animal-caused
deaths also were highest among
older people. On the other hand,
most deaths from drownings and
bums occurred to children under
five years old. Firearms took
their highest toll among those
between 15 and 19, while fatal
falls were most frequent among
older .people.
As might be expected, fatal ac
cidents on farm land and about
service buildings take a heavier
toll of males than females. Nine
males were killed to each female
during the'period studied.
The study says many of these
accidents on farmlands and about
the buildings took lives of young
people who were not properly
safe-guarded by their' parents,
had not acquired skills neces
sary to avoid accidents, or had
not received adequate safety in
structions. Youngsters 15 to 19
years old suffered the largest
number of fatal accidents of any
five-year age group, followed in
order by the 10-14, and under
five-year-old groups. Members of
farm families under 19 years old
accounted for more than one
fourth of fatal accidents, exclud
ing mishaps in the home or off
the farm.
National Farm Safety Week
should be observed by all Alas
kans whether they are farmers
or not. A large percentage of
adults and especially young peo
ple spend a large part of the
summer on the rivers and lakes
fishing and hunting. It is very
important that young people re
ceive adequate safety instructions
and acquire the skills necessary
to avoid accidents such as drown
ing, injury from firearms and
burns, it was suggested by
Charles F. Marsh, management
specialist with the Alaska Agri
culture Experiment Station.
