CAIR Reports

Agriculture-Related Fatalities in Canada

The Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR), formerly known as the Canadian Agriculture Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) was established in 1995 in response to the need for better information about fatal and hospitalized agriculture-related injuries in Canada. CAIR is a national program with collaborators in each of the ten provinces of Canada.

Agriculture-related Fatalities in Canada examines Canadian agriculture-related fatality data for the 10-year period between 2011 to 2020. This report includes trends over a 31-year time period (1990 to 2020) as well as an in-depth analysis of mechanisms of injury over a 10-year time period from 2011 to 2020.

In 2020, CAIR published three reports on seniors (60+ years), child and youth, and asphyxiation agriculture-related fatalities.

Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) – formerly the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) – is an integrated national surveillance project of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association that guides and informs the national agricultural health and safety agenda.
