PUTTING FARM SAFETY INTO PRACTICE:THAT'S THE THEME OF THIS YEAR'S NATIONAL FARM SAFETY AND HEALTH WEEK.

摘要

In 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a proclamation for a recognition week dedicated to farm safety, bringing attention to the hazards and risks of farming. This was J especially important at the time because the high injury rate in agriculture was taking its toll on the war effort. Every president since Roosevelt has kept the tradition offarm safety alive by signing a proclamation for what is now called National Farm Safety and Health Week. Despite this focus for 73 years, agriculture is still one of the most dangerous industries.
