ABSTRACT
In the paper were estimated levels of accident risk for males and females working with farm machinery on private farms. The accident risks were estimated on ground of criteria, which considered sharing of accident category in whole number of accidents, severity of accidents, sharing in fatal accidents and a likelyhood of fatal accidents. There were established five levels of accident risk. Among males tractors and farm machines represent very high accident risk, circular saws - high risk, trailers - medium risk, workshop machines - low risk and worshop hand tools - very low accident risk. Among females, the trailers represent medium level of accident risk, the farm machines and circular saws - the low level of risk.
