Unit 3 – Health and safety on the farm
In this unit I will learn how to:
- identify hazards and risks for visitors to organic farms
- introduce risk control measures that are sufficient to safeguard visitors, but do not lessen the experience
- set out rules of conduct for children and other visitors
Introduction to the topic:
Farmers and teachers want their visitors to return home safe, happy and satisfied with their experiences. Therefore, it is important to protect them from unnecessary and / or unreasonable risks. This chapter provides you with the skills to be able to identify hazards and risks, whilst also introducing a framework for planning your approach to visitor safety.
