Based on the analysis of the causes of 841 occupational accidents on private farms in which children were involved it may be concluded that: 1) The accident causes most frequently mentioned in protocols were: carelessness of the child (26.0%); tripping, stumbling and falling (23.2%); and slipping (22.2%). The vast majority of accidents took place in untidy farmyards. 2) 10% of the accidents were due to animal bites or kicks. 3) The main causes of injuries were due to work on slippery, uneven surfaces (30.1 %), or work with farm machinery and trailers (14.2%), with tractors (9.5%) or on ladders and stairs (8.1%). 4) The most frequent categories of accidents were: falls from height (34.8%), falls on the ground (24.2%) and being struck or ensnared by operating parts of machines (17.8%).
