NGFA’s fifth annual Harvest Safety Week ended today, Aug. 23!
Each year at the end of August, NGFA dedicates a week to sharing safety resources relevant to the busy harvest season. This year’s theme encouraged members to “Participate, Prepare, Protect,” by 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.
Each day this week, NGFA shared a new safety resource, including two new “Safety Tips” training videos. Click below to watch each video and find more resources at ngfa.org/safety.

- NGFA Safety Tips: Shuttle Loading and Rail Safety
- Best Practices for Onboarding New Employees – Webinar by People Spark Consulting
- Fumigation and Integrated Pest Management – Presentation by M&M Specialty Services
NGFA and the National Grain and Feed Foundation made Harvest Safety Week possible. Thanks to the support of the Foundation, billboards and radio ads highlighting the event were displayed in several regions throughout the country.
