SEEKING LOCATIONS to PRESENT “OSHA and AG WORKSHOPS” in Summer/Autumn 2014

March 21, 2014

The OSU Ag Safety Program has developed an “OSHA and AG” educational program to address the safety and health topics commonly found in the agricultural industry. The 1-day workshop will be offered in 5-9 locations around the state in response to the growing concern about farms and their OSHA workplace requirements. Although small family farms continue to be exempt from certain government regulations, the workshop will help farmers understand when they are and are not exempt, how to control for workplace injuries, obligation to provide a safe environment for employees, and other protection liabilities.  If you are interested in being a host location, please contact Dee Jepsen for more details at 614-292-6008 or jepsen.4@osu.edu.
