Prioritizing Your Mental Health
Farm equipment gets regular maintenance, but our mental health tends not to receive the same attention. But it’s important to remember that a healthy mind supports a healthy farm.
This infographic, created in partnership with Farm Credit Canada, highlights some of the signs that indicate you need to prioritize your mental health.
Safety Considerations for Working Alone on the Farm
Working alone can be more hazardous than you think. There are numerous incidents that can happen while working alone that require help.
This infographic, created in partnership with Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture, outlines strategies that can help reduce the risks associated with working alone.
Making Sense of Pesticide Labels
presented by CASA in partnership with Syngenta Canada
In this video, we are going to highlight some important parts of a pesticide label, also known in Canada as Crop Protection products or Pest Control products.
The label on a pesticide product tells the reader how to use it. Most importantly, it outlines how to use the product safely.
Your Farm, Your Family, Your Health
Hazards exist in every workplace, and the farm is no exception. But there are ways to reduce your exposure to hazards on the farm.
This infographic, created in partnership with the Canadian Canola Growers Association, has protection tips for common hazards on the farm.
The Hierarchy of Hazard Controls
The hierarchy of hazard controls is a process for controlling exposure to hazards by identifying the most effective and practical options. This infographic breaks down the process.
