Farm-related preventable injuries cost the Canadian economy $373 million dollars and 184 lives in 2004, according to a report that builds on and expands SMARTRISK’s economic burden study, The Economic Burden of Injury in Canada (SMARTRISK, 2009).
The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) co-ordinates, develops and leads national initiatives to help farmers, their families and workers recognize and manage safety risks. CASA is funded in part by the Government of Canada under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal, provincial and territorial initiative and receives additional support from the agricultural and corporate sectors.
