R. G. Rowe and K. S. Cliff

Dorset Area Health Authority
Department of Community Medicine, University of Southampton

During the study period, 49 people were identified as having attended a hospital accident and emergency department in Dorset after being involved in an agricultural accident. Of this total, 4 required admission to hospital as a result of their accident (8 per cent), 34 people (excluding the 4 admitted) required continuing medical care either from a hospital or their family doctor (70 per cent). Seventeen people (35 per cent) were classified as having major (serious) injuries and 32 people (65 percent) had minor injuries. Forty-one per cent of the people attending were male workers in the age group 15–20 years.
