NGFA’s fifth annual Harvest Safety Week is Aug. 19-23! Each year at the end of August, NGFA dedicates a week to sharing safety resources particularly relevant to the busy harvest season.
This year’s theme encourages members to “Participate. Prepare. Protect.” by participating in sharing Harvest Safety Week resources, preparing for hazards during the harvest season and protecting the employees that “transform America’s harvest” into food, fuel and fiber. NGFA encourages its members to share NGFA harvest safety resources throughout the industry and with farmer customers.
Harvest Safety Week 2024 resources will include:
- New safety training videos on “Shuttle Loading and Rail Safety” and
“Bin Site Entanglement Hazards.” These videos are designed to be easily watched in a couple of minutes and are based on NGFA Safety Tips Sheets available on ngfa.org/safety. - A live webinar with People Spark Consulting on employee onboarding on Aug. 20
- A recorded video presentation with M&M Specialty Services on grain quality management
Harvest Safety Week is made possible by NGFA and the National Grain and Feed Foundation. Thanks to the support of the Foundation, billboards and radio ads highlighting Harvest Safety Week 2024 will be displayed in several regions.
Members and non-members can sign up to receive NGFA’s Harvest Safety Week emails here. Those already receiving NGFA emails will also receive Harvest Safety Week materials.
