The following key facts emerge which are relevant to an accident prevention strategy. HIGH RISK TIMES: Just before lunch and late afternoon. HIGH RISK PLACES: Those places which are most familiar to the farmer, his/her own farm, especially the yard and farm buildings. HIGH RISK ACTIVITY: Working at heights (falls) or with moving objects, tractors and cattle. HIGH RISK PEOPLE: Younger men, especially when not working on their own farm or older farmers working with livestock. The majority of these accidents could have been prevented with the correct use of protective clothing or taking more care. Once an accident has happened, the first aid response is likely to be inadequate. The project team are now working on a strategy to persuade farmers that accidents could happen to them personally and of the seriousness of the consequences if they do. This will be coupled with producing accident prevention materials outlining simple precautions that can be taken to prevent accidents. The final stage is to disseminate these materials through a range of channels involving both NHS, farming and school networks. That is the next stage of the project.
以下关键事实与事故预防策略相关。高风险时段：午餐前和傍晚时分。高风险地点：农民最熟悉的地方，即他们自己的农场，尤其是院子和农场建筑。高风险活动：高处作业（坠落）或与移动物体、拖拉机和牲畜打交道。高风险人群：年轻男性，尤其是不在自己农场工作时，或与牲畜打交道的老年农民。这些事故中的大多数如果正确使用防护服或多加小心本可避免。一旦发生事故，急救措施可能并不充分。项目团队目前正在制定一项策略，说服农民相信事故可能会发生在他们个人身上，以及如果发生事故后果的严重性。这将与制作事故预防材料相结合，概述可以采取的简单预防措施以防止事故。最后阶段是通过包括国民保健服务体系、农业和学校网络在内的一系列渠道传播这些材料。这就是该项目的下一阶段。
