“…We found no statistically significant differences between first- and multi-generation respondents in child injury, perceptions on agricultural safety and farm safety knowledge, and practices. Furthermore, we found a contradiction in our sample between farm safety perceptions and practices based on the previous literature that found an association between these factors and farm injury (see, for example, [ 29 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 75 ]). In particular, there was a high level of perceived safety in agriculture compared to other occupations and high level of confidence in farm safety knowledge and the ability to supervise.…”

“…For over three decades, farm safety scholars have sought to identify the factors associated with variations in farm children’s risk exposure to develop interventions to address these risks. They have assessed the role played by demographic characteristics of farm parents’ (gender, number of children, off-farm employment, and educational attainment) [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ] attitudes, norms, and parenting styles [ 24 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], characteristics of farm operation (namely, the type of commodity produced, scale of operation, and more recently, marketing channels and growing practices) [ 25 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. An extensive body of work has also considered the intersection between farm risk exposure and farm safety practices with children’s demographics (specifically age and gender) [ 24 , 25 , 30 , 32 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], safety equipment used, tasks given, and presence on the farm [ 25 , 26 , 31 , 37 , 40 , 43 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

While farm safety researchers have seldom considered the association between farm parents’ background and their children’s safety, researchers who have compared first- and multi-generation farmers have found differences that may shape safety outcomes. We draw on the farm safety and family farm bodies of literature and a survey of 203 United States farm parents to assess the role of farming background in farm children risk exposure. Exploratory in nature, the bivariate analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between first- and multi-generation farmers in children injury, agricultural safety perceptions, knowledge, and practices but revealed differences in key demographic characteristics and parenting styles. A range of factors likely explain these findings with meso- and macro-level factors likely impacting farm parents’ ability to adopt safety practices. In contrast to the emphasis on knowledge and behaviors, we call for the integration of lived realities in farm safety research and to do so in a way that connects realities and choices to larger contexts. We also call on the need to expand the toolkit of interventions to address meso- and macro-level factors. A shift towards addressing social and economic conditions in agriculture could reduce farm children’s injuries while supporting the sustainability of farm labor systems.

“…The community based health education intervention should target education of mothers and caregivers for the prevention of childhood injuries in home environment. Infants accompany the mother to the farm where they are exposed to risk of injury [17]. Hence, in the present study farm was the second most common place of injuries among infants.…”
