In Italy, about 160 fatal accidents per year have occurred recently in agriculture, most of them involving agricultural machinery. The frequent cause events is the tractor overturning. One opportunities to monitor trend tractors overturning a meticulous search for information on numerous web portals, at national and local level. fact, their purposes are also included recording, practically real time, significant details each event, such as place accident, year, month day week occurring, victim’s age, gender nationality, etc. This article describing results monitoring period 2008–2019 Italy. 12 years survey, 1414 were recorded, occurring spring summer months. region with highest cumulative number was Tuscany (143). majority (58.8%) victims over 60, while 71.4% during field work.
