| Abstract |
The All-Russian Scientific Research Institute for Labour Protection of the Ministry of Agriculture has built a database of fatal occupational accidents in agroindustrial complexes (agrarno-promy¿lennyj kompleks - APK), covering the years 1988-1996. Data were encoded from standard report forms. Analysis of the resulting 1.5 megabyte database gave many interesting results. For example, the third most dangerous occupation proved to be handling cattle (up to 130 fatalities per year), after tractor operation and automotive transport (over 700 and about 400 fatalities per year, respectively); hundreds of deaths were attributable to lack of training or information; some models of equipment were associated with fatalities. It would be useful to extend this system to other sectors across the Russian Federation, standardizing and automating data acquisition. Topics: agricultural operations; agriculture; analysis of accident causes; computer applications; fatalities; Russian Federation; statistical aspects. |
