Building a Farm Safety Plan: One Phase at a Time!

Learn the key parts of a farm safety plan, including health and safety policies, checklists, hazard and risk assessments, hierarchy of hazard controls, safe work practices, training suggestions, incident reporting, and emergency responses.

A Guide to your Farm Safety Plan and Workbook Templates are great resources to start building your own farm safety plan for your farming operations. The elements of this module will mirror each section of the Guide to your Farm Safety Plan and reference the Workbook Templates.

The Farm Safety Plan Index that accompanies the Guide to your Farm Safety Plan and Workbook Templates outlines the purpose for each of the templates and includes a recommended schedule for completion. Your farm may not require all of the documents that are referenced in the Guide, therefore only use only those that apply to your farms’ scope of work.

To navigate this module, use the sidebar menu. Choose the section of the Guide to Start With, Next When Ready, or Finally, as described in the Getting Started document. You can also start with the first element and go through the content in order.
