Overview

Agricultural operations include a wide range of situations, from farms to animal husbandry. Every agricultural operation is a workplace, and every workplace has hazards. This two-part course provides a general introduction to occupational health and safety for new agricultural workers.

Learn how to work safely, recognize workplace hazards and the basic elements of an occupational health and safety program.

New workers include:

  • People of all ages who are starting a new job
  • Young workers under the age of 25
  • People transferred from other parts of the organization
  • Those whose workplace processes and hazards have changed

Participants will gain knowledge of workers' rights that are protected by health and safety legislation, understand the role of health and safety programs within a workplace, and learn how to identify job-related hazards and how to work safely.

This course also provides guidance on hazards that are common to agricultural operations: working alone, violence, working with chemicals, slips and falls, lifting by hand, machinery and equipment, confined spaces, electricity, and handling animals. This course is highly interactive. Pop-ups, external links, review questions, and activities are used to apply learning throughout.

There is a self-assessment quiz to test understanding of the material at the end of Part 1. At the end of Part 2, those who score at least 80% on the final exam will be able to print a certificate of completion.
