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.
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.
Fundraising: As the NGFA and the Foundation encourage members to “Participate, Prepare, Protect,” they also ask them to GIVE. The Foundation’s public safety efforts would not be possible without the generosity of NGFA members, member companies and passionate donors. This is an excellent chance to showcase a commitment to promoting safety and health in the workplace. Go to ngfa.org/foundation.
Harvest Safety Week 2024 resources will include:
- New safety training videos designed to be easily watched in a couple of minutes and 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
