The 2018 data for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the agricultural sector is still the most dangerous in America with 574 fatalities, or an equivalent of 23.4 deaths per 100,000 workers. Fall harvest time can be one of the busiest and most dangerous seasons of the year for the agriculture industry. For this reason, the third week of September (September 20-26, 2020) has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. President since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. National Farm Safety and Health Week is led by the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS), the agricultural partner of the National Safety Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme for National Farm Safety and Health Week 2020 is \u201cEvery Farmer Counts\u201d<\/em><\/strong>. This theme is one that reminds us that it is in everyone\u2019s best interest to prioritize the health and safety of those who work so hard to provide our abundant supply of food, fiber and fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the theme for the week, the daily topics of focus are:
Monday – Tractor Safety & Rural Roadway Safety
Tuesday – Overall Farmer Health
Wednesday – Safety & Health for Youth in Agriculture
Thursday – Emergency Preparedness in Agriculture
Friday – Safety & Health for Women in Agriculture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webinars<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
