This site was
jointly developed and maintained by Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives and Manitoba Labour and
Immigration. Work-related injuries and deaths on Manitoba's farms continue to occur too
often.
This site has been designed to provide farm managers, farm families and
educators with resources necessary to improve farm safety and health.
Equipment service and repair During harvest, equipment breakdowns
can create real problems. The lost time
and delay can have a significant economic
impact. But equally important is the
increased potential for injury during
and after repairs. Pressure to get repairs done may prompt us to
rush and take unnecessary risks. Before saving time by not
replacing a guard, consider the time you will spend in bed
recovering from a totally preventable injury.
Visitors are
encouraged to bookmark this site for current farm safety and health information and
resources.
