Amaç: Diğer tarım araçlarına göre traktör ilişkili kazalara daha sık rastlanmaktadır. Tarımcılar için traktör devrilmesi majör risk faktörlerinden birisidir. Bu çalışmada traktörle ilgili olarak meydana gelen ölümlerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, otopsi bulguları, ölüm sebebi, önlenmesi açısından alınması gereken önlemlerin literatür ışığında tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada 2008-2012 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Adli Tıp Kurumu Morg İhtisas Dairesi’nde otopsisi yapılan olgularda traktör ilişkili ölümlerin otopsi raporları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: İstanbul’da 2008-2012 yılları arasında otopsi yapılan 20,559 olgunun 42’sinin (%0.2) traktör ile ilgili ölüm olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Olguların 38’i (%90.5) erkek, dördü (%9.5) kadın cinsiyettir. Yaş ortalaması 44.54±20.66 (min:2, max:80) olup, en sık 60 yaş ve üzeri (n=13, %31) yaş grubunda ölüm gerçekleştiği belirlenmiştir. En sık ölüm Temmuz ve Kasım aylarında (n=7, %16.6) gerçekleşmiştir. Olguların %50’sinde (n=21) traktör devrilmesi, %31’inde (n=13) traktörden düşme, üçünde (%7.1) trafik kazası, üçünde (%7.1) ezilme ve ikisinde de (%4.8) yıldırım çarpması nedeniyle ölüm gerçekleşmiştir.Sonuç: Traktör kazalarının önlenmesinde traktörlerin taşıma aracı olarak kullanılmasının önlenmesi, sürücülerin emniyet kemeri kullanması ve traktör devrilmesini önleyici sistemlerin kullanılması faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

“…In the literature, numerous studies have investigated these safety issues, mainly focusing on specific topics such as tractors' technical features: e.g., ROPS [19,30], vibrations [31], ergonomics of commands [32], etc. Other studies have analyzed injuries related to this type of equipment in specific geographical contexts [33][34][35][36][37]. Further studies have addressed the problem considering the users' behavior and attitudes [38][39][40].…”

The high rate of injuries occurring in agricultural activities is of major concern in most countries, despite the ever-increasing efforts made at normative levels. In particular, the use of agricultural tractors is recognized as the most hazardous activity for farmers due to the large number of fatalities occurring every year. The aim of the present study was to investigate the recent developments in research activities dealing with tractor safety. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was carried out, taking into account engineering journal papers appearing in Scopus in the 2009–2019 period and focusing on tractor safety. As a result, 79 documents were selected and analyzed based on both their type (e.g., conceptual or empirical studies) and specific targets. They were then classified and discussed in accordance with a reference framework representing the main issues of agricultural tractor safety: mechanical hazards, protective devices, command and control, other hazards, ergonomics, information, conformity, and user behavior. The results of this analysis brought to light the need for a more human-centered approach when dealing with tractor safety. In addition, the lack of a reliable framework of technical standards was also stressed. Overall, despite the limitations due to the selection criteria, this study represents the first systematic literature review depicting the status of tractor safety in the engineering field, providing a basis for further research on the emerging themes outlined.
