 Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF), in partnership with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association and Alberta Labour, has developed FarmSafe Alberta - A Safety Planning Guide for Farms and Ranches.
FarmSafe Alberta is a tool to help farmers and farm managers implement a health and safety management system, or safety plan, on their operation that aligns with similar systems in other Alberta industries. It consists of a step-by-step manual that guides farmers through a process to develop a written health and safety system tailored to their individual business needs.
