Development of an Incident Investigation Form for Agricultural Work Sites in South Korea

The resulting Agricultural Incident Investigation Form accommodates both open-ended and closed-ended responses for each item. The form includes the following sections: 1. Farm (Workplace) Overview, 2. Personal Information of Person(s) Involved, 3. Incident Details, 4. Injury Information, 5. Detailed Investigation, and 6. Cause Investigation and Improvement Measures. The cause investigation section classifies incident causes into mechanical, material/environmental, human, and managerial categories, following the 4 M technique. Each category is further broken down into specific causes to facilitate a detailed understanding of agricultural incidents. The investigation results are then systematized and converted into data to support information accumulation.
