Agricultural Safety
Promoting safe practices in agriculture
In Canada, an average of 115 people are killed and 1,500 hospitalized because of farm-related accidents each year. By taking precautions to make your operation safer, you could protect yourself and your family while saving time and money.
March 11 to 17 is Canadian Agricultural Safety Week. FCC is working with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture to make sure farm safety is on your mind.

Eligible projects include those directed toward individuals or train-the-trainer programs.
