The First steps to farm safety: Guide

Farms are unique workplaces. The combination of hazards and the nature of the work makes agriculture one of the most dangerous sectors in which to work.

When you work on the farm every day, you know what you have to do to get the job done. Farmers are practical and more often than not, find a way to solve a problem. Everything keeps going, perhaps until the day it doesn’t, or someone less familiar with your vehicle, machine, equipment or animals tries to get your solutions to work for them. Good risk management not only protects yourself and your workers, but it also ensures that your business doesn’t stop.
