The Adams, Brown, Clermont and Highland County Farm Bureaus hosted a Workers’ Compensation Safety Training in Georgetown Feb. 24, 2025. This meeting fulfilled the training requirement for the Farm Bureau group rating program, helping employers better understand workers’ compensation coverage and safety practices.
With sponsorship through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, attendees were served a full breakfast before hearing from industry experts. Ginger McCracken, Southwest Regional Business Consultant for Employer Services, provided an overview of employer responsibilities under Ohio law. David Arn, Ergonomics Consultant, shared key safety insights, including the top five agriculture-related claims—number one being injuries caused by being struck by an object or equipment.
Highland County Workers’ Compensation enrollee and OFBF State Board Trustee Nathan Brown shared the value of the training.
“As a farmer and employer, there are many challenges to running a business. One that is often misunderstood and ignored is workers’ compensation. The meeting I attended in Georgetown was very informative, clearing up misconceptions I had about how the process works. I left with a better grasp of when, how, and why we would need to file a claim if an employee were to be injured,” he said.
With 30 attendees present, the event provided guidance for farm employers, reinforcing the importance of workers’ compensation in protecting both employees and businesses.
