Land-grant universities like Virginia Tech champion farm safety through their Farm & Agricultural Safety Training Program.
“More than 334,000 Virginians work as part of the Commonwealth’s diverse agricultural ecosystem, despite farming’s status as one of the nation’s most hazardous occupations. Virginia Tech Environmental Health & Safety’s (EHS) Farm and Agricultural Safety Training Program aims to reduce injuries and fatalities on the farms throughout the New River Valley and beyond.”
Trainings include vehicle safety, animal handling, weather safety, and hazard controls.
