Abstract (EN): This study aims to present a short systematic review of studies on occupational injuries in the farming sector. To achieve this goal was used the PRISMA Statement¿ methodological guide. After selection from the qualitative synthesis 13 articles were found. Depending on the country and culture, risk factors vary and the accidents have different consequences. There are also many conclusions reached by the different researchers. These include the causes of accidents, suggestions for specific preventive measures and limitations associated with the design of the research. There is also a high potential for improvement of working conditions in farming sector and improvements can be attained through more studies that include more variables. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
