Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers are especially prone to “needlestick injuries” on the job. While these injuries seem minor, some can be life-threatening and great care must be taken in the handling, storage, and disposal of needles and other sharp objects to prevent these injuries.

Here are some helpful safety questions for farmworkers to keep in mind:

  • Do the farmworkers have a safety program for working with sharp objects?
  • Does the employee training properly address accidental needlestick injuries?
  • Are the farmworkers trained to restrain animals while also handling sharp objects?
  • Do the workers know how to respond to and report on-the-job injuries?
  • Are there readily-available disposal containers for sharp objects?
  • Does the farm comply with all state/local requirements for the proper disposal of sharp objects?
