Dairy safety training guide

The Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety has recently announced publication of training materials designed to help dairy employers educate their employees on safe workplace practices.

In addition to providing instructions and materials for training sessions, the guide incorporates information about maximizing employee participation in training, preparing for training sessions, and the objectives of the sessions. Cal/OSHA requirements and additional resources are also included.

The Dairy Safety Training Guide and related materials are available to download for free. They are available in English and Spanish.

Dairy workers face many hazards on the job. The two main causes of fatal and non-fatal incidents are from machinery and animals.
