• Description:
  Logging activities such as felling trees for firewood and clearing farm land of trees, are conducted by many farmers throughout the country. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance system, these logging-type practices resulted in 173 work-related "struck by falling object" deaths to fanners during the years 1980 through 1992, which represent 46% of all struck-by-falling-object deaths in the agricultural production industry during this 13-year time period. The majority of these deaths occurred in the midwestern (41%) and southern (46%) regions of the United States. [Description provided by NIOSH]
