Agriculture Production A10, B10, A20, B20, A30, B30

Note: Teachers should determine student familiarity with general workplace safety. This will help determine if they require a review of concepts or more in-depth learning.

Outcome

Explore the role of injury prevention and safety in agriculture production.

Indicators

(a)	Identify the types and frequency of common farm preventable injuries by analyzing industry statistics.
(b)	Describe the hierarchy of controls to control hazards and mitigate risks in various agriculture workspaces and environments.
(c)	Analyze and describe the effect of lost production time due to equipment damage or personal injury during critical times of the year (e.g., seeding, harvest, calving).
(d)	Analyze the effect that costs of equipment damage have on production profit margins (e.g., down time, repair costs, insurance costs).
(e)	Explore ways to mitigate risk of damage to equipment (e.g., maintenance schedule, pre-use inspections, scheduled inspections, understanding manufacturer's recommendations and reporting damage).
(f)	Identify the positive and negative effects to using each category (e.g., respiratory, hearing, vision, skin and body) of industry standard personal protective equipment.
(g)	Identify sections of the Saskatchewan Employment Act that apply to owners, employers, contractors, supervisors, suppliers, self-employed persons and workers as it relates to agriculture production operations.
(h)	Identify when an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) program is required by law for an agriculture production operation.
(i)	Describe the worker's three rights: the right to know, the right to participate and the right to refuse unsafe work.
(j)	Research the benefits of completing certifications and programs offered by Work Safe Sask (Mental Health and Wellness, Occupational Health and Safety and Young Career Worker Readiness), Sask Safety Council (Online Agriculture Training System - OATS and Career Safety Education), Motor Safety Association (Introduction to Workplace Safety), Agricultural Health and Safety Network (Respiratory Health in Ag), Sask Prevention (Farm Safety) and the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety (Farm Safety).
(k)	Describe basic response plans for common types of emergencies in agriculture operations (e.g., fire, medical aid, entrapment, violent threat, severe storms).
