Fall is in full swing, and as winter approaches with colder weather, it is important for ag workers to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and health. The changing weather can bring about a multitude of hazards, from slippery surfaces to extreme cold temperatures. Check out our Cold Weather Safety flyer to see how you can prevent cold-related health issues.
It's also important to remember that heat illness and injury can happen during cold months if you are working indoors in a warm environment. Use our Daily Checklist for Heat Illness and Injury to identify and address potential sources of heat hazards in the workplace.
Remember, safety should always come first, whether you are working with farm machinery, handling chemicals, or dealing with livestock - and especially when working in extreme weather conditions. Always wear the appropriate protective gear, follow safety protocols, and be aware of your surroundings.
