“…To overcome this limitation, national surveillance systems have been organized in many countries, together with report systems, based on information obtained from farm surveys, collection of news clippings, hospital and clinic-based surveillance, medical reports, or death certificate data (O'Connor, Gordon, & Barnett, 1993;Gross, Peek-Asa, Ramirez, & Gerr, 2012;Rissanen & Taattola, 2003). A modern approach for accident information is from news clippings by searching in national and local newspapers (Ozegovic & Voaklander, 2011;Pessina & Facchinetti, 2017).…”

“…Newspaper reports have been utilized to provide surveillance data on a number of injury-related problems including fires, drowning, farm injuries, motor vehicle crashes, and gun violence [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. From our work with ATVs [19,20], we recognized the difficulty in trying to differentiate off-road vehicles from one another using hospital data, as these vehicles were all designated by the same e-code (supplemental codes in the International Classification of Diseases used by health care providers to classify external causes of injury).…”

Abstract:Side-by-side (SxS) vehicles have become increasingly popular, but there are few reports on injury epidemiology. Newspaper reports of SxS and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crashes were analyzed for nine U.S. states from 2009 to 2011, including comparisons between the two vehicle types. Seventy-nine SxS crashes involving 104 injured victims were identified; three-fourths were males. There was a relatively high percentage of injured passengers (37%), and a higher proportion of female victims were passengers as compared to males (p = 0.015). Children <16 years of age were 44% of those injured and had the highest proportion of both passenger and operator victims as compared to other age groups. Over half of the crashes occurred on roadways; nearly two-fifths occurred at night. As compared to adults, a lower percentage of crashes involving youth were at night (p = 0.0037) but the percentages on roadways were similar. Only one in five roadway SxS crashes involved a collision with a motorized vehicle. Rollovers were the most common mechanism (50%). Two-thirds of victims were ejected, and one-half were struck or pinned by the vehicle. Twenty-eight deaths (27%) were reported. Although most current SxSs have roll bars, lack of safety belt use has likely reduced their benefit. Children should be prohibited from operating SxSs.

“…In developing effective teaching methods and materials, the long term goal is to try impact behaviour (Gielen and Sleet, 2003) in the land based sector. Whether the most effective means of imparting the health and safety message is through ever more straightening legislation and sentencing (Zimring and Hawkins, 1971;Hawkins, 2002), through general industry publicity such as the press (Ozegovic and Voaklander, 2011), through behaviour-based management (Stranks, 2009) or through formal, classroom education (Germeni et al, 2009(Germeni et al, , 2010 such as is under consideration in this paper, is a matter for further research.…”

The teaching of law to non-lawyers can involve an unreceptive audience, particularly when the subject is health and safety. The author works with prospective rural practice chartered surveyors who are likely to be professionally involved with the two highest risk working environments in the UK : construction 1 and agriculture. 2 Unlike construction, the agricultural industry has failed to reduce annual fatalities in the past quarter of a century and continues to account for around 20% of workplace deaths, whilst employing under 2% of the workforce. 3 This paper explores the use of court cases, as an introduction to studies, to pique student interest, enhance legal skills and, importantly, to attempt to influence lifelong behaviour for those with future responsibilities in these areas. Students are also exposed to the field work of the Health and Safety Executive. The paper sets out some of the issues and experiences of teaching health and safety law to non-law students, outlines the cases used (for the 2011/12 cohort) and reviews the responses to preliminary research ascertaining student attitudes and understanding of the area before and after teaching.

What we are not talking about: An evaluation of prevention messaging in print media reporting on agricultural injuries and fatalities

Abstract: Print media reporting of agricultural injury and fatality represents a missed opportunity to provide a prevention message. More can be done to improve linkages between news media outlets and injury prevention specialists to improve prevention content in newsprint.
