January/February 2014 Occupational Fatalities. Click to read.
Safety is always a priority. Please join us for our Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate Program, an informative workshop to be held on Friday, March 21 2014 from 9:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. at Farm Family, 344 Rte. 9W, Glenmont, NY 12077. The cost of the workshop is $35 per person.
Several farm insurance companies in New York are acknowledging this program and will provide an incentive for farm owners to participate. Farms that complete the Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate training will receive a dated certificate to provide to their insurer. The certificate may be a condition of eligibility for receiving a more favorable farm insurance policy review or a discount on the farm’s annual insurance premium. The economic value of the recognition or discount will vary according to individual policies and policyholder circumstances.
This 6-hour training program focuses on pre-disaster education and preparedness, covering key topics such as:
- Farm equipment safety on the road
- Barn fire and structure collapse prevention
- Minimizing storm damage, coping with power outages, and maintaining continuity
- Reducing criminal activity and stored chemical risks
- Enhancing livestock handling and biosecurity
Space is limited. Please register by Tuesday, March 18. You may register by calling Gale Kohler at CCE of Albany County by calling her at (518) 765-3579. You can also Email Gale at gek4@cornell.edu.
