In the interior of São Paulo State, highly developed farming technologies coexist with accidents that occur during the execution of strictly manual tasks. From this, one can conclude that advanced farming technologies have not eliminated accidents among rural laborers who carry out low-technology tasks, especially those tasks related to the planting and harvesting of sugar cane. It is in this area that most laborers suffer accidents in their day-to-day work.
