NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV)—Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous occupations, and with National Farm Safety and Health Week underway, experts are calling attention to daily risks in the industry and ways to protect both farmers and their families.
Melissa Pluckelmen-Brown joined us on behalf of the AgriSafe Network to focus on one important topic: keeping youth safe on the farm.
In her interview with RFD-TV News, Pluckelmen-Brown discussed how parents can identify age-appropriate farm tasks for children, the types of hazards that put youth at risk, and strategies to reduce those dangers. She also shared how farmers who hire youth can learn and comply with their state’s labor laws to ensure safety and legality.
Pluckelmen-Brown emphasized the value of introducing children to agricultural work while keeping safety at the forefront, and she encouraged families to seek out resources from AgriSafe and other farm safety organizations.
