Works accidents on the »Karađorđevo« and »Labudnjača« farms

Radi uvida u problem profesionalnog traumatizma poljoprivrednih radnika sprovedeno je ispitivanje traumatizma radnika u poljoprivrednim dobrima »Karađorđevo« i »Labudnjača« sa teritorije AP Vojvodine. Ispitivanje je izvršeno na osnovu podataka iz lista povredenih na radu za dve uzastopne kalendarske godine i upoznavanja uslova rada obilaskom izvesnog broja radnih mesta. Korišćeni su podaci za »Karađorđevo« za 1964. i 1965. godinu a »Labudnjaču« - za 1963. i 1964. godinu. Učestalost povreda se kreće od 9,64-11,75% od ukupnog broja zaposlenih radnika u toku jedne kalendarske godine. Najčešće se povređuju kvalifikovani radnici a zatim polukvalifikovani. U pogledu uzroka povreda na prvo mesto dolaze povrede ručnim i mehaničkim alatom u radionicama i magacinima dobara (17,94%). Na drugom mestu su nesreće sa motornim vozilima i priključnim mašinama (16,55%). Povrede pri radu sa stokom iznose 7,93%. Što se tiče lokalizacije povreda na telu, na prvo mesto dolazi šaka (38,40%) a zatim stopalo (20,80%). U oba dobra izgubljeno je zbog bolovanja kao posledice povreda na radu ukupno 3784 radnih dana, što prosečno iznosi 13,03 dana po jednom povređenom. Analiza traumatizma u ispitivanim dobrima ukazuje na složenost problema profesionalnog traumatizma u sa vremenom razvitku poljoprivredne proizvodnje koju karakteriše nagla mehanizacija. Nedovoljna obučenost kadrova za rad na mašinama i motornim vozilima, neadekvatna higijensko-tehnička zaštita, zamor i neracionalni dnevni i nedeljni odmor su najvažniji uzroci koji dovode do nesreća na poslu kod poljoprivrednih radnika.The problem of works accidents of farm workers was studied on the »Karađorđevo« and »Labudnjača« farms in Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The investigation was carried out on the basis of statistical data from the accident reports for two successive years (1964 and 1965 for »Karađorđevo« and 1963 and 1964 for »Labudnjača«) and by visiting working places and getting acquainted with environmental conditions. The accident rate ranged from 9,64 to 11,7 5 per cent of the total number of employed workers in one year. A largest number of occupational injuries was recorded first among skilled and then among semi-skilled workers. Considering the cause of injuries accidents caused by small and mechanical tools in farm workshops and stores (17,94) came in the first place. In the second place were motor vehicle accidents and accidents due to agricultural machines. Accident rate for cattle handling was 7,93 per cent. With regard to location the most frequent were fist injuries (38,40 per cent) followed by those of the foot (20,80 per cent). On both farms 3784 working days were lost because of works accidents. The average was 13,03 days per injured person. Analysis of works accidents on the two farms points out the complexity of the problem of works accidents in the current development of agricultural production which is characterized by fast mechanization. Insufficient training of the personnel for work with machines and motor vehicles, inadequate safety measures, fatigue as well as inadequate daily and weekend rest are the most important causes of works accidents of farm workers
