Ontario Agriculture Worker Safety and Awareness Certificate

Ontario farm families rely on their workforce to help provide a safe and secure farm environment to raise livestock and produce food, in order to maintain a strong and reliable food supply. These e-learning modules are designed to help educate and train potential new employees or workers returning to the agriculture, food and agri-business sectors.

The course will take approximately 10-12 hours to complete and includes several e-learning modules designed to provide:

• a broad overview of health and safety on a farm;
• an introduction to farm equipment and hand tool operation and safety;
• an introduction to both crop farm operations and livestock farm operations, including appropriate safety measures; and
• an overview of mental wellness in agriculture.
