OH&S exists to make workplaces safer, farms included. There are as many fatalities on the farm as there are in all other workplaces annually in Saskatchewan. The OH&S committee has committed to performing 300 agricultural workplace inspections per year. Items that may be included in these inspections is the workplace responsibility system (OH&S committee), worker training, regulations concerning the workplaces (such as environment, layout, etc.), personal protective equipment, and any dangerous heights (e.g. – feed bins). Hydrogen sulphide regulations can be reviewed, as can biological relations. This involves medications and/or hormones being used, the purpose for use, and conditions for administration (e.g. – is it safe to handle by pregnant workers?).
