Agriculture and Food - An Industry That Could Be Fatal
Despite the fact that relatively few lost time claims are registered every year in Agriculture, a large percentage of injuries in this sector are fatal. As such, it has become mandatory for all employees and possible job candidates to undergo scrupulous safety training.

Below is a list of the safety training programs required by some of the most common jobs in agriculture.
