(staff photo) . -Says Federation By Keith Rouiston `Ontario's farmers were warned Thursday night to cut down :en the accident rate on farms' or face taigh govern- ment safety regulations. Paul, Steckle of, Zurich, chairlman^ of the Huron Farm Safety . Committee, told members of the Huron County I9ederation of Agriculture at their monthly meeting in Clinton that he can foresee in the near future the Ontario government bringing in a Farm Safety Act to force tighter safety regulations on . the agricultural industry. There is already legislation in effect in California, British Columbia and Michigan he said, which enforced roll-over protection on farm tractors. It won't be long before it comes into effect in Ontario, he said. "If we don't pull up our boot- straps," he warned, "we'll be dealing with an act that isn't viable for us to live with." He said the safety record of the agricultural industry is not, good. Every industry but agriculture, he said, has safety standards.. He said that if farfltei t'could tidy up their own industry and bring down ac- cident rates, they would not only cut down on the waste of :one of the most important resources, ..human'• life, but would also lower the Work- men's Compensation rates charged for farm coverage and influence the kind of legislation. the government might bring in to cover farm safety. Regarding Workmen's Compensation Board coverage, Mr. Steckle said that the law states that every farmer needs W.C.B. coverage if he employs and employee for even so much as a half a day. This included, he warned, exchange of labour with other farmers. Every employee in the province is er accidents covered by Workmen's Com- pensation even if the employer does: not have coverage. The W.C.B. however, can count the employer liable for damages caused by on -job accidents. One of .thee days, he said, he expects the W.C.B. to start ' cracking down on farm ac- cidents even if they haven't in •the past. He gave a slide presentation showing the effects on dum- mies of roll-overs of tractors without roll-over protection and with roll-over protection. Nearly all tractor companies in North America now have roll- over protective cabs, he said Preventing accidents is a and although the cost of $2,000 matter of _concentrating on the • or more may seem like a lot of job you're doing; anticipating money, it is good insurance; he what could happen and being said.

He also warned that small children seem to be the most vulnerable in farm accidents with the rate highest in the age group of 2-4. He himself hadiost a three-year-old daughter in a farm accident in which he was not personally involved. "No one ever forgets," he said.

The new minimum wage of $2.40 an hour for employees in general industry .became ef- fective throughout Ontario on, May 1. The rate for con- struction workers also rises, to $2.65 an hour. This increase was announced by Labour Minister John P. , MacBeth on January 22nd. He said the revision was "necessary to keep pace with the increased cost of living" From May 1st, agricultural workers engaged in the har- vesting of fruit, field vegetables and tobacco are eligible :_ for minimum wage, vacation pay and holidays with pay for the first time. The purpose of minimum wage is to give workers whose bargaining power is limited a measure of protection against exploitation.
