The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation is making safety conversations a priority at this year’s Farm Science Review. BWC will have safety consultants available at two different booths this year, including a presence in the Ohio Farm Bureau building on the corner of Beef Street and Friday Avenue.
“It’s a crucial time to review basic safety items that could mistakenly be overlooked or omitted when workers are putting in longer hours during harvest season,” said BWC Administrator/CEO Stephanie McCloud. “The time when you think ‘just this once I can take this shortcut,’ is unfortunately often the time when a real accident may occur.”
Following a frustrating planting season for many Ohio farmers, BWC is hopeful that harvest season will be more uplifting and, most importantly, free from preventable injuries and illnesses.
Farm Science Review takes place Sept. 20-22. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit with a safety consultant, learn about the free safety resources available through BWC, and pick up a 10-point safety checklist to prepare for a busy harvest season. In addition, BWC will demonstrate the importance of hearing protection through an interactive display.
Here are the items BWC recommends all workers should review to help prevent accidents and injuries during the busy harvest season.
Plus, listen to Stephanie McCloud review these harvest safety items and share additional safety tips on Our Ohio Weekly.
BWC is committed to helping your business prevent accidents. If you would like to schedule a free safety consultation, contact your local BWC service office, call 800-644-6292, or submit a request online. Please have your BWC policy number ready.
