Injuries in agriculture: condition, motivators, sources, causes and remedies

The paper notes the importance of the agro-industrial complex and its agricultural production in the successful resolution of food security issues within Russia and partly in export supplies. Attention is drawn to the fact that agricultural production has been annually accompanied by occupational injuries with the loss of health and life. It was revealed that counteraction at every stage of life was carried out insufficiently in all areas of prevention, including scientific, personnel and practical solutions. An analysis of the problem confirmed an improvement in the area under consideration, but not at the required level, which is confirmed by the annual presence of injuries not only in the structures of the agro-industrial complex, but in all structures of the OKVED of Russia without exception. In some of them, the injury rate decreases annually, in others it stabilizes at times, in others it increases for various reasons compared to the previous year. Their consequences are summarized in the paper. As a counteraction to this, a theoretical analysis of the situation is proposed and, on this basis, a number of innovative methods and means of prevention that exclude the possibility of potential hazards in the structures of the agro-industrial complex and the OKVED of Russia in injuries and circumstances contributing to occupation-related diseases of workers.
