Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) - Knowledge for safer agriculture - A New Name, A New Look, And A New Home
Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) formerly the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) - is an integrated national surveillance project of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association that guides and informs the national agricultural health and safety agenda.
CAISP's latest national report Agricultural Injuries in Canada for 1990-2005 can be downloaded free.
It describes the occurrence of fatal agricultural injuries in Canada by age group and mechanism of injury. There were 1,769 agricultural fatalities in Canada from 1990 to 2005. Overall, more than half of the agricultural fatalities were due to four machine-related causes: machine rollovers, machine runovers, machine entanglements and traffic collisions. The top five causes of agricultural fatalities in Canada were machine rollovers (20.5%), machine runovers (18.6%), machine entanglements (8.3%), traffic collisions (7.3%), and being pinned or struck by a machine (7.0%).
Their recent fifteen-year summary reports on fatal agricultural rollovers, runovers, animal injuries, injuries to older adults and injuries to children can be downloaded here.
