Sažetak
The problem of works accidents of farm workers was studied on the »Karađorđevo« and »Labudnjača« farms in Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The investigation was carried out on the basis of statistical data from the accident reports for two successive years (1964 and 1965 for »Karađorđevo« and 1963 and 1964 for »Labudnjača«) and by visiting working places and getting acquainted with environmental conditions. The accident rate ranged from 9,64 to 11,7 5 per cent of the total number of employed workers in one year. A largest number of occupational injuries was recorded first among skilled and then among semi-skilled workers. Considering the cause of injuries accidents caused by small and mechanical tools in farm workshops and stores (17,94) came in the first place. In the second place were motor vehicle accidents and accidents due to agricultural machines. Accident rate for cattle handling was 7,93 per cent. With regard to location the most frequent were fist injuries (38,40 per cent) followed by those of the foot (20,80 per cent). On both farms 3784 working days were lost because of works accidents. The average was 13,03 days per injured person. Analysis of works accidents on the two farms points out the complexity of the problem of works accidents in the current development of agricultural production which is characterized by fast mechanization. Insufficient training of the personnel for work with machines and motor vehicles, inadequate safety measures, fatigue as well as inadequate daily and weekend rest are the most important causes of works accidents of farm workers.
