Deconstruction of farm machine-related safety interventions: a systematic review and narrative synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Agricultural workplaces have a high number of incidents and fatalities, with the majority occurring from machinery use. Farmers' behaviour plays a critical role in maintaining safety, as improper or unsafe practices often lead to injuries and fatalities.
