Safety
Farm safety is no accident. The Vermont Farm Safety Program educates farmers on training employees about safety issues to reduce farm injuries and accidents. Programs include workshops, farm safety audits, assistance with identifying safety hazards on farms and developing strategies to eliminate them, and collaboration with other agencies and organizations to serve the needs of Vermonters. New efforts are aimed at increasing tractor safety with regards to the use of rollover protective structures.
