Have a Safe and Healthy Springtime, Saskatchewan!

Springtime in Saskatchewan isn't always a sure thing with the weather changing from sunny blue skies to grey snow clouds in a day! As you are gearing up to head out into the fields take some time to think about health and safety on your farm to make the 2024 growing season your safest season yet. Health and safety around the farm encompasses a wide range of hazards from sun exposure in the hot summer months to respiratory hazards from dusts and chemicals. This edition of the Network News provides plenty of quick reads to help you stay on top of safety this season.

The most important part of your farm is the people – you, your family and your farm workers are what make your farm a success! Both communication and farm safety are essential for a successful farm.

Creating an environment of communication provides a space for everyone to express their health and safety concerns and to discuss how to best stay safe on the farm. Spring is the perfect opportunity
to take some extra time to talk about safety around the farm and to set-up a routine for incorporating time to “talk safety” as you head into the season. We are stronger together in Ag Health and Safety!
