OSHA's Agricultural Standards

OSHA’s Agricultural Standards set safety and health rules for farms to protect workers from hazards like machinery, chemicals, and working conditions. They require proper equipment maintenance, training, and the use of personal protective gear. Standards also address how to handle pesticides safely, prevent falls, and provide emergency procedures. These regulations aim to reduce accidents and health issues, ensuring a safer work environment while allowing farm operations to run efficiently. Overall, OSHA’s standards help balance productivity with worker safety in agricultural settings.
