Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate current levels of work safety in agriculture, based on interviews conducted in a composite sample of 103 farms located in the region Friuli Venezia Giulia (North-East of Italy). The survey has outlined a number of patterns that were consistently found across all types of farms and only slightly varied depending on farm size, type of production and location. The results were used to define guidelines for safety experts on the field with new, updated approaches for risk assessment and accident prevention in the farms.
