This is the first of three articles that evaluate the health and economic consequences of the use of rollover protective structures (ROPS) on agricultural tractors. The effectiveness of ROPS delivered through alternative intervention strategies is the subject of the three-part study. This part of the study reviews and assesses the evolution of interventions that are known to prevent injuries incurred as a result of tractor overturns. The method used is historical analysis framed against a prevention effectiveness model used by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Two intervention strategies were found to be potentially effective in preventing injuries from tractor overturns. These strategies are either to install a ROPS on tractors that lack a ROPS or to replace the tractor with one that has a ROPS already mounted. Other prevention factors include the effectiveness and use of seatbelts and the integrity of the ROPS system during an overturn.
本文是三篇系列文章中的第一篇，旨在评估农用拖拉机翻车保护结构（ROPS）的使用对健康和经济造成的影响。通过替代干预策略提供的ROPS的有效性是这项三部分研究的主题。该研究的这一部分回顾并评估了已知可预防因拖拉机翻车而导致伤害的干预措施的演变。所采用的方法是基于美国疾病控制与预防中心使用的预防效果模型进行的历史分析。研究发现，有两种干预策略在预防拖拉机翻车造成的伤害方面可能有效。这些策略要么是在没有ROPS的拖拉机上安装ROPS，要么是用已安装ROPS的拖拉机替换现有拖拉机。其他预防因素包括安全带的有效性和使用情况以及翻车时ROPS系统的完整性。
