摘要

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) has released a free online course aimed at helping agricultural and farm workers stay safe on the job. The e-course entitled, Orientation on Health and Safety for New Agricultural Workers, was released in time for National Farm Safety Week. It provides guidance on hazards that are common to agricultural operations: working alone, violence, working with chemicals, slips and falls, lifting by hand, machinery and equipment, confined spaces, electricity and handling animals.
