Ag and Hort Work Safety: A Partnership Approach

A workshop presented by Mid American Ag and Hort Services in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency

Work place accidents injure workers and economically harm both workers and employers. The consequences of unsafe work, equipment and buildings are obvious. Employers and employees can partner for safety and reduce the risk from work place hazards and injuries. This workshop provides practical take home ideas on how employers, supervisors and workers can cooperate for safety through: (1) Creating an organizational culture that highly values safety, (2) Identifying and removing work place hazards with the help of employees, (3) Making safety an important part of worker training and (4) Implementing progressive discipline programs that reinforce safety in the workplace.
