20 Jun 2013
Risk of accidents at work among own-account workers in agriculture, i.e. farmers, has fallen by ten per cent from 2002 to 2011. These data derive from Statistics Finland's occupational accidents statistics, in which two five-year periods were compared with each other. In the 2002 to 2006 period, farmers had 26,847 accidents at work resulting in at least four days absence from work, which is an average of 5,701 accidents per 100,000 farmers. In the 2007 to 2011 period, farmers had 21,016 accidents at work resulting in at least four days absence from work, which is 5,109 accidents per 100,000 farmers. The most recent occupational accident statistics contain data on the accidents at work of wage and salary earners and farmers in 2011.
