"A new approach to oc-

by the Ministry in developing
regulations establishing stand-
ards for the guarding and
shielding • of the operator and
personal safety devices.
Regulations covering standards
of design of new machines and
personal protective equipment
with exemptions under certain
specified circumstances is where
we must begin. "The farm
community is sure that this is the-
right way to achieve occupational
health and safety among
agricultural workers. We trust
that the Ministry will explore our
suggestions fully and support
them", Mr. Hannam concluded.

"Agriculture is a unique in-
dustry and it needs its own set of
health and safety regulations"
said Peter Hannam, President of
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture today.
OFA, along with the Ontario
Farm Safety Association and the
Ontario Fruit and Vegetable
Growers' Association, presented
a brief to the Ministry of Labour
today--concerning ther
Omnibus Bill on Occupational
Health and Safety.
Mr, Hannam, acting as
spokesman for the three farm
groups, pointed out that, "Farm
work is unlike that in any other
industry. Not only is it seasonal
and always subject to weather,
but there are 77,000 different
work places and 77,000 different
work environments.
"As a result, you just cannot
apply the same regulations as
you do in the factory. If you tried,
you could stifle and cripple
farming.
"As an alternative, OFA,
O.F.S.A. and O.F. & V.G.A.
suggest that agriculture should
be covered only by regulations
under the Bill. Such regulations
should be developed by farm
groups in conjunction with the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food and the Workmen's
Compensation Board.
