National Farm Safety Week Highlights Farm Deaths Rise
The Canada Safety Council warns during National Farm Safety Week that farm fatalities and injuries surge despite a shrinking farming population. An estimated 1400 farm and rural deaths, 75 000 accidents, 25 000 injuries and 1500 permanent injuries are projected this year with half the deaths from traffic and a doubling rate in farm machinery fatalities since 1956.

Children killed in farm machinery crashes prompt safety push
Royal Commission data show children under five make up 12 percent of farm machinery fatalities from 1962 to 1966 with two thirds run over. Youth 10 to 19 account for 17 percent, many in overturns or crushes. Advocates urge banning children from riding or driving tractors until qualified. Protective frames, roll bars, and crash resistant cabs cut overturn deaths in Sweden and Canada by substantial margins.
