Popis:	Based upon a risk analysis of farm-related injury data, priority areas for farm safety research and education were identified. Risk was defined as the Expected Injury Cost (EIC) index per farm worker per year. The expected costs of farm-related injuries were correlated with the risk factors of employment status, gender of farm worker, age of farm worker, hours of exposure, type of agricultural operation, and common hazards on the farm. Since the EIC index combines the probability of injuries with the severity of injuries, it provides a scientific basis for defining agricultural safety research and educational priorities.
