Fire risks are typically higher in rural and agricultural areas, combined with the setback of the typically-long distance between the farm and the first-responders to a fire. As such, fire prevention is an essential component of farm safety that should never be overlooked.

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

  • Is any electrical wiring damaged or exposed? Are regular inspections conducted on electrical wiring?
  • Are all exits clearly marked with pathways that are free of obstacles?
  • Are the farm workers properly trained for fire emergencies?
  • Are all electrical outlets, panels, and lights clean and free of any debris?
  • Is smoking restricted only to designated areas?
  • Is a fire extinguisher available in each building?
  • Are there fully-functional smoke detectors in each building?
  • Are fuel, oil, and other flammable liquids properly stored away from heat and livestock?
