Farm safety should concern us all The tragic death of an orchard worker, although not yet a proven pesticide death, is nevertheless a timely reminder to everyone involved in the agricultural industry that extreme care needs to be taken. The agricultural industry presents some challenges from a safety point of view.
Most farms are small family affairs with workers often operating alone.
Many workers have English as a second language yet they need to use hazardous chemicals and operate powerful machinery without instructions in their native tongue. In spite of these problems, events such as the recent death are still rare but they do remind us of the potential harm a moment s inattention with a hazardous chemical can cause. The answer, as it has always been, is education and more education. Because of the nature of farming, no one solution is going to work. Community members can have a large impact through the informal education that happens between farmers over the back fence or a cup of coffee.
