The death certificate is inadequate for counting and classifying agricultural occupational fatalities. Agricultural occupational fatality cases can be uniformly determined by using standard definitions and terminology from the Standard Industrial Classification Manual and the National Center for Health Statistics, and by obtaining relevant information from a family member of the victim.
