Agricultural Safety
Promoting safe practices in agriculture
In Canada, an average of 115 people are killed and 1,500 hospitalized because of farm-related accidents each year. By taking precautions to make your operation safer, you could save money, time and lives.
Farm Safety Quiz
With information, training and support of Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, FCC is working hard to increase awareness about the importance of practising farm safety. Implementing a farm safety plan is a lot like implementing a business plan. It needs to get done and with the right information, it’s easier than you think.
Take the FCC Farm Safety Quiz and learn how implementing a farm safety plan can save you money. FCC, CASA and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture have worked together to bring safety information you can use in our online quiz.
