ELECTRICAL SAFETY ON SASKATCHEWAN FARMS

A partnership between the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture and SaskPower, with support from the Canadian Agriculture Partnership Program (CAP)

The Electrical Safety on Saskatchewan Farms resource is a new and unique resource that will increase awareness and prevent incidents when working around overhead and underground power lines. The Agricultural Health and Safety Network is grateful to have partnered with SaskPower in the development and delivery of this resource and will continue to grow this partnership in the future. In 2019, there were 326 overhead line contacts caused by farm machinery and while none of these incidents were fatal, each incident had the potential to be. Don’t take the chance, be aware and be safe!
