Ohio's Farm Fatality Statistics

The Farm Fatality and Injury Database of Ohio (FFIDO)

The FFIDO Program involves surveillance of agricultural fatalities and injuries in Ohio, interpretation of data, and design of outreach programming.

The results of the FFIDO surveillance efforts are used to guide current and future research and outreach initiatives in the State Agricultural Safety Office. FFIDO tracks all agricultural fatal incidents in Ohio, classifying the injury agents involved as well as victim demographics. By monitoring trends and understanding the scope of the problem the OSU State Safety Team offers many research-based safety education programs, demonstrations, and publications aimed at teaching injury prevention and life-saving information. Using Ohio's agricultural surveillance data as the cornerstone of this process enables the strategies to be accurate and relevant in addressing the true problem.

The documents below provide charts of the farm fatalities for the most recent 10 years available for the state of Ohio. These fatalities are reported by year, month, age, and agent of injury. In addition, a breakdown of the tractor-related fatalities and grain fatalities is provided. Farm related injuries are too hard to capture in a database and are not available on this website.
