Abstract

Aim: To describe the pattern of non-intentional farm-related fatalities in Australia for 2003-2006 and examine trends.

Methods: Data from the National Coroners Information System were analysed to define all non-intentional farm injury fatalities for the period.

Results: The incidence of farm fatalities has declined by 44% over the past 20 years from an average of 146 deaths per year to 82 deaths per year. For adults there are high numbers of fatalities related to tractors, quad bikes and farm utilities. Children aged under 15 years account for 17% of fatalities, with dams or other water bodies and quad bikes remaining the most common causes of non-intentional farm fatalities. Almost half of all on-farm non-intentional fatalities are non-work-related.

Conclusion: Future interventions targeting these priority areas are required to reduce the incidence of non-intentional farm-related fatalities within Australia.

2003-2006年澳大利亚非故意农场伤害死亡人数。
目的:描述2003-2006年澳大利亚与农场有关的非故意死亡的模式,并研究趋势。方法:分析来自国家验尸官信息系统的数据,以确定该时期所有非故意农场伤害死亡。结果:在过去20年中,农场死亡人数下降了44%,从平均每年146人死亡下降到每年82人死亡。对于成年人来说,与拖拉机、四轮摩托车和农场公用设施有关的死亡人数很高。15岁以下儿童占死亡人数的17%,水坝或其他水体和四轮摩托车仍然是造成非故意农场死亡的最常见原因。几乎一半的农场非故意死亡与工作无关。结论:未来需要针对这些优先领域的干预措施,以减少澳大利亚境内与农场有关的非故意死亡的发生率。
