“…Furthermore, adequate preparation and training for rural healthcare workers and medical resources are also imperative. Generally speaking, the harvest season is associated with an increased rate of injuries due to seasonal variations in agricultural tasks ( 137 ). Therefore, rural healthcare providers should ensure sufficient preparedness during periods of high injury incidence.…”

Farmers are considered a high-risk group for intentional and unintentional injuries. This review identified significant risk factors for agricultural injuries in farmers and explored injury prevention countermeasures based on the literature. Therefore, CiteSpace software was used to analyze the relevant literature in this field. Additionally, we identified both key risk factors and countermeasures using the Haddon matrix and the 5 E’s risk reduction strategies conceptual framework, respectively. The risk factors were identified from four categories (host, agent, physical environment, and social environment) corresponding to three phases (pre-event, event, and post-event). Interventions of 5 E’s risk reduction strategies including education, engineering, enforcement, economic, and emergency response have been proven effective in preventing injuries or reducing their severity. Our findings provide a comprehensive foundation and research direction for the study and prevention of injuries among farmers.

“…Thus, the risk may be based on the parental stage in life and farm development activities and/or workload. International studies have indicated that increased farm work time increases farm workplace injury rate ( 17 – 20 ) and also in Irish studies ( 21 , 22 ). In particular, one previous Irish study using NFS data has indicated generally that farm scale, workload, and under investment, influence farm operator farm workplace injury rate ( 3 ).…”

“…The Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority (Teagasc) National Farm Survey reported a 31% increase in farm incidents in the last decade in Ireland [ 7 ]. Furthermore, Mohammadrezaei et al [ 8 ] observed that farm injury is more likely to lead to severe injuries and fatalities than other work-related injuries. More than half of the reported injuries occur from farm machines, vehicles and livestock.…”

Farming is essential work, but it suffers from very high injury and fatality rates. Machinery, including tractors, are a leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities to farmers and farm workers in many countries. Herein, we document the systematic development of an evidence-based, theory-informed behaviour change intervention to increase machine-related safety on farms. Intervention development progressed through four phases. Phase 1 defined the problem in behavioural terms based a review of the literature, Phase 2 identified candidate intervention targets through a series of focus groups guided by the Capability–Opportunity–Motivation–Behaviour (COM-B) model and Phase 3 employed expert and stakeholder consultation guided by the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to consider potential target behaviours and intervention components and finalise the intervention content. Phase 4 finalised the evaluation strategies with a team of agricultural advisors who supported the rollout and identified outcome measures for the first trial. The target intervention was the identification of blind spots of farm tractors, and three priority target behaviours (farm safety practices) were identified. Following Phase 3, the intervention comprised four components that are delivered in a group-based, face-to-face session with farmers. In Phase 4, the acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity of these components were identified as the outcome measures for the first trial of the intervention. The four-phase systematic method detailed here constitutes an initial template for developing theory-based, stakeholder-driven, behaviour-change-based interventions targeting farmers and reporting such developments.
