Farm Policies, Procedures and Safety

Dairy Safely, Home Safely

 

Everyone deserves a safe place to live and work.

Dairy farms are unique. They are both family homes and busy workplaces. Long days, seasonal pressure, changing weather, large animals and heavy machinery all increase the risk of injury if safety is not managed properly.

The good news is that farm safety does not need to be complicated.

Below are practical, farmer-tested resources you can use on your own farm. They provide simple tools and step-by-step guidance to help you meet your legal responsibilities and build a strong, practical safety system that actually works on-farm.

Each resource helps you:

  • identify risks
  • put the right controls in place
  • keep the right records
  • build safer habits for everyone on the farm

Because everyone deserves to get home safely.
