In a 12-month study 132 patients injured in agricultural accidents were treated at the Accident Service of Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. Agricultural machinery and implements were concerned in 50% of the accidents and animals in 10%. The state of immunity against tetanus of these patients was found to be extremely low, only 9% being fully immunized, and 56% having never received a course of prophylactic adsorbed tetanus toxoid.While prevention is obviously the only real solution to accidents of any nature, legislation is not enough to achieve this, and the final responsibility lies with the farmworker to ensure that all safety precautions are followed.
在一项为期12个月的研究中，132名在农业事故中受伤的患者在剑桥阿登布鲁克医院的事故服务中心接受了治疗。50%的事故涉及农业机械和农具，10%涉及动物。发现这些患者的破伤风免疫状态极低，只有9%完全免疫，56%从未接受过预防性吸附破伤风类毒素疗程。虽然预防显然是应对任何性质事故的唯一真正解决办法，但仅靠立法不足以实现这一点，最终责任在于农场工人，要确保遵守所有安全预防措施。
