“…Em relação aos custos financeiros dos acidentes, MONK et al (1986) expõem que os gastos anuais com os acidentes de trabalho na agricultura para a economia britânica chegam à cifra de 94 milhões de dólares por ano. Os dados obtidos por MÁRQUEZ (1990) reforçam a magnitude dos custos dos acidentes.…”

Em despeito à sua importância, poucas pesquisas vêm sendo executadas com o intuito de caracterizar os acidentes de trabalho com tratores agrícolas, identificando sua natureza (tipo) bem como suas causas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar os acidentes envolvendo tratores agrícolas ocorridos na região da Depressão Central do Rio Grande do Sul e, a partir disto, delinear estratégias eficientes na sua prevenção. Para o levantamento dos dados, foi aplicado um questionário aos operadores de tratores agrícolas da região da Depressão Central do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados demonstraram que 39% dos trabalhadores rurais entrevistados já sofreram algum tipo de acidente de trabalho com tratores agrícolas. Dentre os tipos de acidentes com tratores agrícolas detectados na pesquisa, destacam-se o capotamento, que correspondeu a 51,71% do total de acidentes graves, e os escorregões, que corresponderam a 40,82% dos acidentes leves. As principais causas dos acidentes relatados foram a falta de conhecimento a respeito das medidas de segurança na operação de tratores (32,77%), a falta de atenção (32,22%) para a tarefa executada e o equipamento inadequado (22,22%). Os acidentes graves tiveram causas diferentes comparativamente aos leves. Operadores sem treinamento adequado, a não observação de regras básicas de segurança e a longa jornada de trabalho são tendências observadas neste trabalho que ampliam os riscos de ocorrência de acidentes. A inclusão de dispositivos que tornem a máquina mais segura e confortável, bem como o treinamento dos operadores de tratores agrícolas são práticas de importância fundamental para a prevenção dos acidentes com tratores agrícolas.

Statistical problems are described which arose in the attempt to estimate the overall extent and cost of farm accidents in Great Britain. Information was obtained on all 56 fatal accidents and on a sample of 791 non-fatal accidents reported to the Health and Safety Executive between I July 1981 and 30 June 1982. Consideration is given to the planning and execution of a survey of 805 farms to obtain information on unreported accidents. Difficulties in deriving national estimates and problems of communicating results are also covered.

“…The cost-of-farm-accident literature has concentrated on consequences of permanent disabilities (Stout and Darbee; Tormoehlen and Field; Tormoehlen) and nonfatal farm accidents (Pfister; Pugh, Stuckey, and Phillips; Robbins). Monk et al (1984Monk et al ( , 1986 estimated the financial costs to the employer and the economic costs associated with fatal farm accidents in Great Britain as part of a larger study of farm accidents, but because full information on costs was obtained for relatively few fatal accidents, Monk et al assumed that all TimothyW.

A telephone survey of all of the surviving families of people killed in farm accidents in New York between 1985 and 1987 (52 of 87 families interviewed, 60% response rate) found the average total annual present value of expected income foregone because of fatal farm accidents in New York is over $8.6 million (in 1987 dollars). Less than five years after the accidents, 67% of the families who operated the farms where the accidents occurred no longer operate them and 44% no longer live on the farms.
