During industrialization in agriculture, many farming machines have been introduced. It is well-known that farming is a dangerous workplace and that farm machinery cause many serious accidents every year. Four cases of accidents with potato harvesters are discussed. In three of four cases the farmers were injured while cleaning the machine without stopping it, which probably was the main cause of the accidents. Farmers are in general not careful enough when using farm machinery. Every year, farmers in Denmark are severely invalided in accidents with potato harvesters. A strategy to lower the accidents is proposed: 1. Information of farmers, farmer schools, machine constructors and importers about mechanisms of injury. 2. A better education of farmers in using potato harvesters (and other farming machines). 3. Better fencing of the potato harvesters. 4. If possibly constructional changes in the potato harvesters so things will not get stuck, or so that the machine will stop if things stuck. 5. Installation of switches on potato harvesters, which can be reached from all positions, stopping the machines immediately, or a remote switch control carried by the farmer.
在农业工业化过程中，引进了许多农业机械。众所周知，农场是一个危险的工作场所，每年农业机械都会引发许多严重事故。本文讨论了四起马铃薯收割机事故。在这四起事故中，有三起是农民在未停机的情况下清理机器时受伤，这可能是事故的主要原因。农民在使用农业机械时通常不够小心。每年，丹麦的农民都会因马铃薯收割机事故而严重致残。本文提出了一项降低事故发生率的策略：1. 向农民、农民学校、机器制造商和进口商提供有关伤害机制的信息。2. 对农民使用马铃薯收割机（以及其他农业机械）进行更好的培训。3. 对马铃薯收割机设置更好的防护围栏。4. 如果可能的话，对马铃薯收割机进行结构改进，使物品不会卡住，或者在物品卡住时机器能够停止运行。5. 在马铃薯收割机上安装可从各个位置触及的开关，以便立即停止机器，或者为农民配备远程开关控制装置。
