TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Farming: a hazardous occupation JO - Occupational medicine (HB) A1 - Cordes, D. H. A1 - Rea, D. F. SP - 327 EP - 334 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - Physicians with patients who work in rural areas need to be aware of the potential for illness and injury and be well-versed in preventive measures necessary to help keep these patients well. Physicians also need to be aware that the family's principal worker is not the only one exposed to the work hazards. The family joins in the duties of the farm and shares the risks. Physicians can play an important role in reinforcing the need for safe agricultural work practices.
