Agriculture related fatalities are declining across the country.
That is according to the latest Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting information.
The report shows that from 1990 to 2001, an average of 116 people died due to an agriculture-related incident.
From 2002 to 2012, the average number of agriculture-related fatalities dropped to 85 per year.
Between 2003 to 2012, farm machinery continued to be involved in most agriculture-related fatalities with runovers, rollovers and being pinned or struck by a machine component accounted for the top three ways people were fatality injured.
Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) is an integrated national surveillance project of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association.
