Agriculture Industry Safety
Agriculture
workers are exposed to numerous safety, health, environmental, biological, and
respiratory hazards. These include, among others, heat exposure, falls,
musculoskeletal injuries, unsanitary conditions, and pesticide exposure.
Agriculture employers are
responsible for protecting the safety and health of their workers under the
rules of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Providing
a safe workspace for agriculture workers can minimize the risk of employee
injury and illness, resulting in a more productive and profitable workplace.
