A project was undertaken to estimate the frequency, severity, and primary causative factors associated with injuries and fatalities involving confined spaces in agriculture, including grain bins, silos, and manure storage and handling facilities. A total of 1255 cases from 41 states were analyzed. These cases were included in the Purdue Agriculture Confined Space Database and occurred during the period 1964-2010. During the period 2001-2010, an average of 51 cases were documented annually. Approximately 71% of all documented cases involved grain, and over 16% of all cases involved children under the age of 16. This article presents a summary of the identified incidents and offers conclusions drawn from the study's findings.
开展了一个项目，以估计与农业密闭空间（包括粮仓、筒仓以及粪便储存和处理设施）相关的伤害和死亡的频率、严重程度及主要致因。分析了来自41个州的总共1255起案例。这些案例被纳入普渡大学农业密闭空间数据库，发生时间为1964年至2010年。在2001年至2010年期间，每年平均记录51起案例。所有记录在案的案例中约71%涉及谷物，超过16%的案例涉及16岁以下儿童。本文概述了已识别的事件，并给出了从研究结果中得出的结论。
