In 1996, with the help of others working in the same area, they formed the Canadian Agriculture Injury Surveillance Program. (CAISP) The team's mandate was to look at the occurrence of work-related farm injuries, which resulted in death specifically between the year's 1991 and 1995.*
By looking at records and statistics from a number of different agencies, CAISP reported a total of 503 deaths on the farm in that time period.
Farm injuries are the fourth leading cause of death by occupation in Canada.
