The second part encourages producers to ensure the correct access, use, and fit of personal protective equipment, if needed.” When a hazard is identified there are several things you should do to correct it such as: redesigning the set-up; use less dangerous materials; change the work process or practices; change the equipment; and establish administrative controls or safety rules for workers. When all else fails to eliminate the hazard then personal protective equipment is used to reduce the hazard to acceptable levels. An acceptable level of hazard is different for each person. Among other things, it will depend on the training, work experience, and physical capabilities. That’s why it is so important to ensure that workers are properly trained to do their job and that the training is documented. PPE is the last line of defense for safety. “Farmers and farm workers have a dual role in risk management,” explains Laurent Pellerin, CFA First VP. “They can be a source of risk when they do things carelessly; and they are also the most important part of the strategy for dealing with risk. That’s why it is so important for owner-operators to lead by example and always insist that work is done safely.” “FCC believes in motivating farm owners, their families and employees to work and play safe on their farms,” says Greg Stewart, FCC President and CEO. “Focusing on farm safety and helping our customers avoid dangerous situations is one of our goals. We see safety as an investment in people – those who work and live on farms.” For more information visit these websites: www.cfa-fca.ca or www.casa-acsa.ca How does your farm safety knowledge rate?
