Analysis of 1980-1985 death certificate data for the United States indicated that an average of 369 occupational deaths per year involved agricultural machinery as the external cause of death. Out of all agricultural machine-related deaths, tractors accounted for 69 percent. Over half of these tractor-related deaths were rollovers. There is a need for public health programs to affect greater use of rollover protective structures (ROPS) on farm tractors.
对美国1980 - 1985年死亡证明数据的分析表明，每年平均有369起职业死亡事件，其外部死因涉及农业机械。在所有与农业机械相关的死亡事件中，拖拉机占69%。这些与拖拉机相关的死亡事件中，超过一半是翻车事故。需要开展公共卫生项目，以促使农场拖拉机更多地使用翻车保护结构（ROPS）。
