TIP 2365 – Farmers Stay Safe

Listen to today's podcast...

Growing up on a dairy farm, I know first-hand how stressful this occupation can be. It is an all-encompassing lifestyle.

Two-thirds of farmers say that they are stressed, with 20% saying that they are very stressed. Shortcuts or inattention can lead to disaster.

Farmers are resilient.

Stuff happens…to everyone…and you move on. Though there is a lot of complaining about what is going on around them, most couldn’t imagine living or making a living any other way. Those that can’t live this way, don’t last and move on.

Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Canadian Agricultural Safety Week:

Think Safety First. During Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, the message is that awareness is the key to staying healthy and safe on the farm.

Know your priorities.  Don’t let the business of farming become such a focus that you forget the connection to your family and friends, or the importance of your health.

Finally, It is not a weakness to connect with others. In days gone by, it was a given that you had to rely on your community for survival. It is important that you have enough supports in your support circle in order to be resilient.
