Based on our study, agriculture/forestry/fishing sector workers were involved in the largest number of incidents and had the highest fatality rate per 100,000 FTE compared to other industry sectors. The fatality rate per 100,000 FTE of tractor-related deaths in the agriculture/forestry/fishing sector was consistently high from 2003 through 2010. In addition, workers 75 years and older in the agriculture/forestry/fishing sector had particularly high fatality rates per 100,000 FTE. Fatality rates from 2003 through 2010 were generally 4–8 times higher than the overall rates in agriculture/forestry/fishing. Previous research has consistently shown a pronounced increase in the risk of fatal injury with age in the agriculture/forestry/fishing industry [Hanford et al., 1982; Hoskin et al., 1988; Myers, 1989, 1990; Kisner and Pratt, 1997; Fiedler et al., 1998; Hard et al., 1999, 2002; Mitchell et al., 2002; Meyer, 2005]. Previous studies have also suggested that older farmers are more likely to operate older tractors [Gelberg et al., 1999; Voaklander et al., 1999; Sanderson et al., 2006] and are not as likely to use protective devices [Wadud et al., 1998; Pickett et al., 1999; Hwang et al., 2000]. Tractor longevity suggests that older farmers will continue operating older tractors not equipped with rollover protective structures (ROPS) rather than purchasing new equipment [Myers et al., 2009]. Until this older equipment is removed from the workplace or retrofitted with ROPS, the high rates in the agriculture/forestry/fishing industry will likely remain unchanged.
