Farmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring  at work.One in five

Farmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring  at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture  even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year 2010/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.

Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You don't realize how  much you rely on your second arm until it's gone”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)a spinning metal bar at the back of  a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other”he said.“I landed on the floorminus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped off.”He admits that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again”he added“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines  that didn't work.AlsoI was getting behind with the jobs.”

Over the last 10 yearsother industries that you'd think of as dangerouslike building or quarrying(矿采)have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry thoughdeaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2010/11.

Judith Hackittthe chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are  still high.“People in farming don't have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injuredit's bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agricultureit really made them sit up and take notice.”There's a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Alsoit's often because people are left alone.They could be young and inexperiencedor older peoplewho would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.

Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what you're doing before you go running in”he said.“You could make a mistake that you'll live with for the rest of your life.”
