Farmers and ranchers are encouraged to plan for #FarmSafetyEveryday

WINNIPEG, MB –(COMMUNITYWIRE)– Canadian Agricultural Safety Week takes place March 10-16 and this year farmers, farm families, farm workers, and farming communities are encouraged to consider how they plan for #FarmSafetyEveryday.

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) is an annual national initiative delivered by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) that raises awareness about the importance of safe agriculture. Your Farm, Your Family, Your Success: Safety is Our Heritage is the final part of a three-year safety campaign.

This year, organizers are focusing on providing practical safety advice and encouraging conversations about farm safety while showcasing how safety directly contributes to the success and sustainability of farming operations.

“There is no question that farm accidents can have a devastating toll with physical, psychological, and financial consequences,” says Andrea Lear, CASA’s Chief Executive Officer. “But we also know that many on-farm incidents are preventable. That’s why we want to provide Canadian producers with the tools and resources they need to protect the health and safety of everyone who lives and works on or visits farms and ranches. Canadian Agricultural Safety Week serves as a reminder that farm safety is important year-round and that by working together, we can ensure a safer agricultural sector.”

Every year, CASA raises awareness about the importance of safety on Canadian farms through CASW, which takes place during the third week of March. This year’s sponsors are CN, Syngenta Canada, Canadian Canola Growers Association, Fertilizer Canada, and Parrish & Heimbecker.

Additional information about CASW, including the media kit and resources, is available at agsafetyweek.ca. The media kit contains feature stories, safety advice articles, public service announcements, graphics, and more.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and agricultural workers. CASA is funded in part by the Government of Canada under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal, provincial and territorial initiative.
