The 2008 Canadian Agricultural Safety Week campaign theme is 'Manage more than just your back!' The campaign’s goal is to encourage farmers to think through their work and find ways to reduce the risk of sprains, strains and falls.
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is delivered by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association through the generous support of Farm Credit Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
