The main purpose for injury risk assessments are to foster and teach safety practices for students to implement within their own SAE projects and future projects.
Agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the nation. It is critical to teach students good safety habits now, so that they can carry those habits into their future.
Teaching students good safety practices can benefit the Agricultural industry by helping implement a more safety focused environment. Agricultural educators have the opportunity to help teach and assess students and their efforts to implement safety procedures during their normal SAE visits to students.
The assessment will cover three different categories created from Haddon’s Matrix (Haddon, 1980). These factors should be considered and assessed during each visit.
