It is easy to fall out of safety habits after a winter of not being out into the field. As you head out this spring, take some time to refresh and review safety practices around the farm with your family and farm workers. In this edition of the Network Newsletter you will find quick tips on ATV and Road Safety along with a reminder that overhead power lines and large farm machinery don’t mix. We are also highlighting current and ongoing research at the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture (CCHSA) in this edition, featuring articles on the Ergonomics Lab and the Take a Break from the Shake: Farm Machinery Operator Interventions. As we move into more busy times on the farm, and potentially more stressful, don’t overlook your mental health. When times are busy it can be all too easy to place your mental health on hold, but this is to our own detriment, instead take a step back and take time for yourself.
