| Abstract |
Data from 841 post-accident protocols collected from all regional sections of the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund in Poland were analysed. The cases analysed occurred in 1996 on private farms and involved children and adolescents up to the age of 15. Boys constituted 71% of all victims of accidents. The greatest accident risk was noted among boys aged 13 and girls aged 12. Accidents most frequently occurred during vacations (July, August) and in springtime (May). The distribution of the number of the accidents by day of the week was fairly even, except that only approximately 10% of accidents took place on a Sunday. Nearly 50% of all accidents took place in the late afternoon (3pm - 6pm). Accidents happened most frequently in the household (64.3%), including slippery, uneven, cluttered yards, or non-ergonomic, untidy barns or farm buildings. See also CIS 00-731 and CIS 00-732. |
