Agricultural Safety Resources
People of all ages can be injured or killed in accidents on MT farms, but probably the most painful statistics are those that deal with children. The National Safety Council reports that each year 300 children die, and at least 23,000 children suffer nonfatal injuries in farm accidents. Many others are permanently disabled.
Montana Farm Bureau is concerned with the safety of our children on MT farms. MFBF has implemented an ATV Safety presentation for school children in grades 3-5 to hopefully prevent accidental death or injury.
This program benefits school children whether or not they live on MT farms. Many city kids frequently visit MT farms, so they must also be aware of the many potential dangers and threats of being around equipment.
