Abstract

Work-related injury data suggest that agricultural workers in North Carolina are experiencing high rates of injury and death compared with workers in other occupations. However, current occupational injury data sources are insufficient to calculate accurate injury and mortality rates. We propose recommendations to improve existing farm injury surveillance, to guide prevention.
