On-Farm Agricultural Worker Safety Training Review Summary
Canadian Agricultural Safety Association
Agriculture remains one of the most dangerous industries to work in. Training has been
acknowledged as a key factor in the promotion of occupational safety and health. Training makes
workers aware of the hazards they may encounter in the workplace, informs them of the tools and
regulations that are in place to protect them and drives them towards safe behaviours.
The On-Farm Agricultural Worker Safety Training program aims to address training gaps and
provide farm owners/operators with the tools they need to successfully train farm workers in
agricultural safety. The following conclusion will identify both training method best practices, and
on-farm training delivery mechanisms that will best fit the On-Farm Agricultural Worker Safety
Program.
