FARMING and agriculture are among the most dangerous fields of work in Australia.But while the wine industry is part of this 'risky business', fatalities have remained low with just three deaths reported in 10 years to 2012.That's according to independent statutory agency Safe Work Australia which is responsible for improving occupational health and safety and workers' compensation arrangements across the nation.While the number of deaths in the wine industry are minor when compared to other industries, there were more than 3000 serious claims accepted for compensation between 2000 and 2012 (see table 1).
