Farm safety is MY business
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) are proud to join with partners from the agriculture and agri-food industry for the annual Canadian Agricultural Safety Week campaign from March 8-14, 2006. This year’s theme: “Farm safety is MY business” will examine various aspects of risk management in the agricultural sector with a special focus on young workers between the ages of 15 and 29.
We thank you for your support and contribution to this important campaign. Special thanks is also extended to Farm Credit Canada as our exclusive corporate partner, along with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Workplace safety is an attitude. Our motto “Farm Safety Means Farm Safely” is a reminder that safety is everyone’s responsibility. Thank you for helping to get this important message out to the agricultural and rural communities of Canada. Together we can help to make Canadian farms a safer place to work and live.
