Importance As agricultural production gains momentum, the injury frequency rate in agriculture remains one of the highest ones in the Russian Federation. Injury risks shall be mitigated and risk prevention actions shall be undertaken to reduce the loss of working time and increase labor productivity.
Objectives I analyze trends in traumatism causing the temporary loss of the ability to work, severe and fatal consequences in crop production, risks and causes of injuries.
Methods Relying upon literature and federal statistical reports, I overview occupational accidents in crop production of Russia and foreign countries. I conduct a retrospective analysis of accidents in crop production using the database, Serious and Fatal Occupational Injuries in the AIC of the Russian Federation.
Results Like in many other countries, in the Russian Federation, production processes in agriculture pose a threat to life and safety of workers. If the possibility of traumas and diseases is neglected in agriculture, issues of occupational health and safety will be more difficult to detect and solve, thus affecting workers and society as a whole.
Conclusions and Relevance To prevent occupational accidents, there should be new safer technologies, better occupational safety training of workers. It is necessary to encourage further research into occupational accidents in agriculture. The findings are supposed to contribute to technical and organizational activities for injury risk prevention in crop production.

Keywords: crop production, injury risk, working conditions, occupational safety, underestimation
