accidents by grade Grade five children were 2 V2 times more likely to cite machinery as a cause
of a farm accident than were grade six children ( Figure 14).
4.3.2.1.1 The Child's Public and Private Farm Safety World
The discourse analysis is based on an analysis of the theme, narrative voice, and intended
audience, setting, characterization, and tone.
In addition to the findings from the CISA campaign, the CFCW contest results further
emphasize the PUBLIC and PRIVATE farm safety world of the child. The child's public world
is community focussed and ranges well beyond the farm- gate. The stories are community and
locally bound by time and tradition. These stories are graphic and real. Several examples of these
public stories follow.
• " I know a lot of people who have been hurt by farm equipment. One man
lost his arms from the elbows down. He got them caught in a baler. He
had to get hooks."
• " I know a man when he was a boy and he was playing around a combine
and he lost most of his arm..."
• " Let me tell you about a neighbour who got injured. Once, on of my
neighbours was putting pink powder in his grain with a shovel. The
shovel got caught in the flighting of the auger. He never let go and his
arm went into the flighting. His arm got all torn open. He went to the
hospital and they figured that they would have to amputate his arm. They
did."
The child's private farm safety world is one of " hands- on experience." These children
have experienced first- hand the trauma and effect of an accident. Again, their stories are graphic
but what is more important, they are " fear stories." It matters not if these stories come from
experience or from the family's collective knowledge. These stories serve to reinforce the cause,
the effect and the ultimate personal horror of a severe farm accident. Several private stories
follow.
• " my Dad taught me to watch where I'm going because one time my other
brother got ran over with the tractor by accident."
• " my Dad when he was oiling it [ machinery], his glove was too big and it
got caught in the chain and his hand got caught and went with the chain
and cut his fingers off."
• "... a cow that we were trying to get into a squeeze smashed my Mom up
against a metal gate."
• " my Dad lost his leg up to his nee [ sic] from a power tac [ sic] off"
