Au cours des dernières années, on a observé dans les fermes laitières une augmentation du nombre de travailleurs étrangers entrés en poste avec un permis de travail. 

Entre 2003 et 2012, on a malheureusement dénombré au Canada 843 décès accidentels à la ferme.

While employing foreign workers is a great solution, we must not forget about the importance of safety with this group of employees.

Canada is known for its intense winters, but we also have several weeks each year of intense, very humid summer heat. It is important that during these times you protect yourself from the penetrating sun and watch out for symptoms of heat-related illnesses before it becomes a serious health concern.  

Le chargement des vaches dans une remorque peut être une tâche difficile et stressante. Les conditions peuvent varier considérablement en fonction de l'endroit et des circonstances de chargement des animaux.

There is often a lot of conversation regarding loading cattle from the cattle perspective, and this is certainly important information to consider, but it is also important to keep the safety of the animal handlers top of mind as well.
