Farm Accidents
Will Take Big
Toll In 1855

Between $4,000 and $4,000 farm
residents will be killed in ACCT
dents this year if the 1855 death
rate conforms with that of pre-
viouS years. Another 1900, 900 or
more may be injured.
According to the National Safe
ty Council, which with the De-
partment of Agriculture is o
sponsoring National Farm Safety
Week Gully 24-3O), farming is the
nations third most hazardous in
duStry. Mining and construction
have a higher rate of work deaths
per 100000 workers, but agri-
culture has the highest number
of accidental work deaths.
Because farm miShapS tend
to occur most often during late
morning or afternoon hours, when
body reflexes r more sluggish,
many safety men recommend that
rural workers emulate office and
factory employees and take brief
coffee breaks about 1920 and
$3.50 p. m.
In one nationwide industrial
study 82% of the personnel men
interviewed reported that coffee
breaks helped to reduce fatigue;
32% reported a lower accident
rate.
The National Safety Council in
Guided the following among "ma-
jor unsafe acts" which farmers
should guard against: failure to
make regular safety inventories:
hurry (taking shortcuts that
cause accidents); using defective,
unguarded, or wrong equipment:
l~nattention (daydreaming while
working with heavy machinery or
near hazardous work.; improper
animal handling; violating COM
nonsense safety rules; allowing
children near dangerous ma
chinery.
