The article analyzed statistic data on production traumatism and professional sickness of those employed in the field of agrarian and industrial complex, particularly, in the field of repair and technical maintenances of machinery-vehicle fleet. It describes main reasons for accidents when operating, technical maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery. The main reasons for accidents in the trade, the main subject of activity of which is repairs and operation of machinery-tractor fleet in the companies of technical service of agricultural machines: imperfection of technological processes – 57%; high level of wearing out of machinery – 12 %; failure to adhere to sanitary and hygienic factors – 10%; poor organization of working process – 7%; ill-quality training of safe working methods or its absence – 6%; low labor and production discipline – 5%; lowering period for reconstruction and upgrade of running companies – 3%.
