FARM & AGRICULTURE SAFETY: Practical Solutions for Canadian Management Professionals

Managing safety on a farm or agricultural operation, whether a large-scale corporate venture or a family-run business, comes with unique challenges. In the Canadian agricultural industry, staying compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations is essential, not only to protect your workers but also to avoid costly penalties and downtime. At On-Track Safety, we bring a wealth of knowledge from our experience in rural Alberta, growing up on family farms and actively participating in farm life. This hands-on understanding gives us a practical edge in helping you develop and implement a seamless farm safety program.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Farm Safety Program

A comprehensive farm safety program is essential in mitigating risks and ensuring that all farm workers are aware of the potential dangers they face daily. While agricultural settings can be unpredictable, involving heavy machinery, animals, and hazardous chemicals, a structured safety program reduces the likelihood of accidents.


According to WorkSafeBC, Canadian farms have a workplace injury rate 2.5 times higher than other industries. This statistic highlights the importance of safety measures. On-Track Safety works closely with agricultural operations to customize safety programs that meet their specific needs, ensuring compliance with Canadian OHS regulations and reducing the risk of workplace accidents.

Enhancing Farm Safety with Inspections, Assessments, and Training

Regular operational inspections are crucial for maintaining a safe and efficient farm environment. At On-Track Safety, we provide thorough audits to identify potential hazards, ensure regulatory compliance, and suggest improvements. Routine inspections not only safeguard workers but also reduce the risk of preventable accidents, ensuring your farm runs smoothly.

  • Proactive hazard identification

  • Regulatory compliance and operational improvements

  • Enhanced worker safety and productivity


In addition to inspections, hazard and risk assessments help pinpoint specific dangers unique to your farm, such as machinery risks or chemical storage. For example, a farm in Alberta saw a 35% decrease in accidents after conducting regular assessments and training. Emergency preparedness is equally critical—farms without an emergency plan face a 40% higher risk of severe losses during crises. Training workers on emergency procedures ensures protection during critical situations.

  • 35% reduction in accidents with regular assessments

  • Emergency preparedness reduces crisis-related losses by 40%

  • Comprehensive safety and emergency response training


By integrating regular inspections, hazard assessments, and safety training, farms can ensure a safer, more productive environment for everyone involved.
