Agricultural Safety

Prioritizing safety in an ag workplace can seem daunting. Where do you start? Improve training or upgrade equipment? Should we evaluate emergency response or daily tasks? What’s the best safety bang for the buck? The closer you look, the more questions you find. With limited time and resources, you need a road map for how to tackle these questions and make real progress. That’s where our Farm Safety Assessment comes in. Categorized by topic and operation, it’s a methodical and simple way to assess the risks you and your team face. You can complete it all at once or divide and conquer. Either way, it’s an essential tool to help you develop a realistic action plan for safety. Here’s a glimpse at the kinds of questions you’ll find in our guide.

• Is a five-pound minimum ABC-type fire extinguisher available on each tractor?
• Are livestock gates in good, safe working order for livestock and workers?
• On tillage and planting equipment, are guards in place around belts, pulleys, shafts, chains and PTOs?
• Are chemicals stored away from livestock feed supplies?
