Farm news
Take aim to avoid farm accidents
Fai ming is a way of life
for over 200,000 Canadian
farm families from coast
to coast. Too often, howev-
er, it's also a way of injury
and death — 697
Canadians died in farm -
related accidents between
1990 and 1996. Most of
these deaths could have
been prevented.
During National Farm
Safety Week, March 10-
17, the Canadian Coalition
for Agricultural Safety and
Rural Health (CCASRH),
the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture (CFA) and
Agriculture and AgriFood
Canada, together with cor-
porate partner John Deere
Limited, are urging farm-
ers and their families to
think about how they can
protect themselves from
the hazards of living and
working on a farm.
"Machinery continues to
be the leading cause of
serious injuries and fatali-
ties on the farm," says
CFA President Jack
Wilkinson. "Between
1990-1996, 70 per cent of
all farm deaths in Canada
resulted, from working
with or around agricultur-
al machinery. Hundreds
more were injured, some
seriously enough to cause
lost work time or perma-
nent disabilities."
This year's theme "Safe
Faanissiric, is.,, . Smart
Fr -ming", brings attention
L,the need for everyone
involved in agriculture to
promote safety awareness
