Abstract
During the period 1973 to the end of 1981, 870 employees were injured on duty. Those from the agricultural sector formed a significant group. An analysis of the incidence of injury on duty by month, day of the week and time of day which accidents took place is offered. Injuries are classified according to the external anatomical region of the site of injury and comparisons are made. Injury on duty, as it is found in the agricultural sector, is discussed and recommendations are made regarding preventative measures to reduce incidence.
