SAIF’s free ag safety and health workshops return in November
The annual employer trainings will be held in 16 cities from October to March, including nine in Spanish.
SAIF's statewide series of free, half-day trainings on agriculture safety and health start at the end of October.
Designed primarily for people working in agriculture, anyone with an interest in ag safety and health is welcome to attend. (You don't have to be insured by SAIF.)
Employers with small ag businesses who attend the seminar will meet OSHA's instructional requirement, one of four requirements that exempt small agricultural establishments from random OSHA inspections.
