Background: This paper provides background and a process description for a national initiative ('Safe Farmer Common Sense') on prevention of occupational injuries in Swedish agriculture. Methods: This initiative, which received investment funding of 65 million SEK (6.5 million USD) from the European Union (EU) over the 5-year period 2009-2013, was jointly developed by researchers, agricultural organizations, authorities, and politicians. The program had a farmer-centered perspective and included short courses, on-farm visits by supervisors, and a number of education events and awareness-promoting activities. Results: Our analysis showed that the concept was successful, since it involved farmers to a greater extent and prompted a high proportion of these to introduce injury prevention measures on their farms compared with a control group. The analysis also confirmed that these activities continued two-three years after participation in the program. Conclusion: The program was not found to have any major effect on the number of occupational injuries, although the level of occupational fatalities was lower during the intervention period. Thus the investment can be questioned as regards the limited impact on the number of work-related injuries in Swedish agriculture and may have been too short to have a lasting effect.

安全农民常识”-一项基于国家教育的五年计划，旨在防止瑞典农业中的职业伤害-背景，过程和评估。

背景：本文提供了关于瑞典农业预防职业伤害的国家倡议（“安全农民常识”）的背景和过程描述。方法：该计划由研究人员，农业组织，当局和政界人士共同制定，在2009年至2013年的5年期间获得了欧盟（EU）6500万瑞典克朗（650万美元）的投资资金。该计划具有以农民为中心的观点，包括短期课程，监督人员在农场进行的访问以及一系列教育活动和提高认识的活动。结果：我们的分析表明，该概念是成功的，因为与对照组相比，该概念在更大程度上涉及了农民，并促使其中很大一部分农民对其农场采取了预防伤害的措施。分析还确认，这些活动在参加该计划后的两年中仍在继续。结论：尽管在干预期间职业病死率较低，但该计划并未对职业伤害的数量产生任何重大影响。因此，对于瑞典农业中与工伤有关的伤害影响有限的问题，该投资可能会受到质疑，而且投资可能太短而无法产生持久影响。
