SAIF kicking off free fall and winter ag safety seminars

 

SAIF is once again visiting cities across the state to offer free agriculture safety sessions.

 

SAIF has offered agricultural safety seminars for nearly 30 years, helping Oregon’s farm owners, managers, and workers stay safe in one of the most hazardous industries.

 

The seminars are designed primarily for people working in agriculture but are open to anyone interested in safety and health—they don't have to be insured by SAIF.

 

SAIF is conducting 31 free ag safety seminars in 16 cities across Oregon. Seminars will continue through March and 10 of the seminars will be presented entirely in Spanish. 

 

This year's seminars focus on four topics:

  • Machine guarding and energy control
  • Fire code on the farm
  • Respiratory programs
  • Making the most of safety committee meetings

SAIF will also host online webinars in both January and March in English and Spanish. 

 

In-person seminars will be in Bandon, Central Point, Clackamas, Corvallis, Eugene, Hermiston, Hillsboro, Hood River, Klamath Falls, Madras, Mt. Angle, Ontario, Pendleton, Salem, The Dalles, and Wilsonville.

 

Spanish seminars will be held in Central Point, Clackamas, Hermiston, Hillsboro, Hood River, Madras, Mt. Angel, Salem, The Dalles, and Wilsonville. 

 

All will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and lunch will be provided.

 

Employers with small ag businesses who attend the seminar, or watch the webinars, will meet OSHA's instructional requirement—one of four requirements that exempt small agricultural operations from random OSHA inspections.

 

Four hours of continuing education credits are available from the Landscape Contractors Board. Producer continuing education credit hours for licensed insurance agents are pending approval by the Department of Consumer and Business Services.

 

More information—including registration details—can be found at www.saif.com/agseminars.
