“…� meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials (11,15,16) aimed at reducing injuries among adults showed no evidence of an effect on injuries [rate ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.8�-1.20] (figure 1). The narrow 95% confidence interval indicated that a more positive or more negative outcome is not very likely for these kinds of educational interventions.…”

Effectiveness of interventions in preventing injuriesObjectives This study reviewed the effectiveness of interventions in preventing occupational injuries among workers in agriculture.Methods Randomized controlled trials, controlled before-after studies, and interrupted time-series studies assessing interventions aimed at preventing injuries among workers in agriculture were considered. MEDLINE and five other databases were searched up to June 2006. Two authors independently assessed the eligibility of studies and the methodological quality of the ones included. Randomized controlled trials were combined in a meta-analysis. Interrupted time-series studies were reanalyzed to assess the immediate and progressive effect on injuries.Results Five randomized controlled trials and three interrupted time-series studies met the inclusion criteria.Six studies evaluated educational interventions and financial incentives, and two studies evaluated the effect of educational interventions and financial incentives, and two studies evaluated the effect of legislation. Three randomized controlled trials on educational interventions with �6�0 adult participants did Three randomized controlled trials on educational interventions with �6�0 adult participants did not indicate any injury-reducing effect, with a rate ratio of 1.02 (95% confidence interval 0.8�-1.20), nor did two randomized controlled trials among children (6895 participants). Financial incentives decreased the injury level immediately after the intervention in one interrupted time-series study. Banning endosulfan pesticide in Sri Lanka led to a significant decrease in the trend of poisonings over time. Legislation requiring rollover protective structures on all tractors in Sweden did not produce a reduction in injuries, but the same requirement for new tractors was associated with a decrease in fatal injuries. ConclusionsThe reviewed studies provided no evidence that educational interventions are effective in decreasing injury rates among agricultural workers. Financial incentives may be a better means of reducing injury rates. Banning highly toxic pesticides may be effective. Legislation on safety devices on tractors yielded contradictory results.Key terms data pooling; evaluation research; intervention study; occupational accident; preventive measure, randomized controlled trial; systematic review. 1This review was adapted from the original Cochrane Review, entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-ricultural Industry", by RH� Rautiainen, MM Lehtola, LM Day, E Schonstein, J Suutarinen, S Salminen, and J �erbeek, Rautiainen, MM Lehtola, LM Day, E Schonstein, J Suutarinen, S Salminen, and J �erbeek, published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2008, Issue 1, �rt No: CD006398.

“…One successful accident prevention programme, which incorporated the components outlined above, was the West Jutland study (Denmark) initiated in 1992 (Rasmussen, Carstensen, Lauritsen, Glasscock, Hansen, & Jensen, 2003). The benefits experienced from a wellconstructed prevention programme will surpass participation in the programme, as the farm incorporates the home in addition to the place of employment.…”

Farming is identified as being a hazardous occupation, resulting in disability and numerous fatalities each year. While occupational health and safety issues among farm households have been studied recently in Ireland, there has been no research directed at identifying the incidence and impact of disability within farm households.The aim of the research outlined in this paper was to identify the cause, extent, and nature of disability among farm household members. The impact of disability on the farm business was examined also. Questions relating to disability were attached to the Teagasc National Farm Survey, and circulated to a representative sample of 119.5k households in 2001. The results revealed that 19.5% of farm households reported one or more persons with disability, with the farm operator (39.5%) reporting the highest incidence among household members. Physical disabilities accounted for 80.1% of all reported disability, with its principle source being healthrelated. Disability in affected households had a "major" or "some" impact on the farm business in 22.4% and 52.9% of cases respectively. Family farm income was €24/ha less on farms where the farm operator reported disability compared to non-disability farms. When the farm operator reported disability, participation in offfarm employment was reduced for the farm operator and spouse when compared to non-disability farms. The results generated raise awareness of issues among farm households reporting disability. Further research should be directed toward agricultural disability to facilitate agricultural and extension educators in designing prevention programmes that minimise the occurrence and impact of disability among farm households.
