Canadian Agricultural Safety Week ends on Saturday, as farmers across Strathroy-Caradoc get ready for a busy season. It’s been a week to highlight hazards on the farm, and there are many, as well as stress the importance of the well-being of farmers themselves.

Anderson says the top three ways people are killed on the farm are runovers, rollovers and pin and struck incidents…as machinery can be a major hazard.
