Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This study aims to provide information needed to determine the wages paid for replacement labor for work lost following accidents in agricultural operations.
Methods: Visits and interviews were conducted with 171 farmers who experienced a loss of at least one day of work due to an agricultural workplace accident.
Results: It was found that only 35.1% of the study participants hired replacement labor, and more replacement labor was hired in greenhouse and fruit workplaces than in open field work. The mean number of days of hiring replacement labor was 14.6 days, and no significant differences were found between the national average wage and the surveyed value, while female workers were paid less than their male counterparts.
Conclusions: The results from this study would be of help in determining a reasonable level of compensation for lost work.
