How to take farm safety courses online
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week takes place annually during the third week of March. This campaign encourages farmers, farm families, workers and communities to commit to farm safety every day.
The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) offers online safety training courses for employers and workers to learn about farm safety.
The CASA online training modules
CASA’s online training courses are available online at www.casa-acsa.ca. They take between 45 and 60 minutes to complete and have a quiz at the end. Course topics include:
Introduction to grain handling and storage hazards
Farm safety orientation
ATV safety awareness
Tractor and farm machinery safety
Agricultural machinery safeguarding
Dairy worker safety
There’s also a course that teaches seasonal farm workers about basic agricultural safety so that farm owners and operators can practice due diligence when managing the well-being and safety of their employees.
Accessible and affordable
The courses are affordable, with most modules available for between $30 and $40. CASA members can receive a 25 per cent discount.
If you own or manage a large agricultural operation, CASA provides you with the option to offer courses through your own website. With CASA’s assistance, you can set up a personalized web training platform for your business that includes course administration training.
This Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, educate yourself and others about farm safety. By sharing knowledge and resources, you can help prevent accidents and promote a safer work environment for farmers and their families.
