Introduction

According to OSHA, over 300 children die each year from injuries sustained on a farm, with the overwhelming majority of these accidents being children who live on these farms. http://ehs.okstate.edu/training/oshafarm.htm . Additionally, statistics from a number of sources all find that the number of injuries to children who live/work on family farms is over 20,000 per year.

It would be inaccurate to say that every single one of these deaths could have been prevented if better safety practices would have been in place, although, it is completely accurate to say that more than half of the children that die as a result of farm accidents are avoidable.

Likewise, accidents can happen even when stringent safety measures are in place, but a significant number of them could be eliminated with a few more lessons and rules in farm safety.

This book is meant to serve as both a reminder and as an educational resource for farm families with children and grandchildren as well as families whose children visit and/or work on a farm.

NOTE: Accidents happen—both non-serious and tragic accidents no one can see coming and those that are completely unavoidable despite our best efforts. This book is not meant as a guarantee against life, it is not intended to serve as legal counsel, and is not meant to serve as an endorsement for any product brand.
