Right from the Start: Safety Awareness for the Next Generation of Livestock Producers

Author: Texas AgriLife Extension
Date Published: 2011


According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), many more injuries are suffered in addition to reported deaths, and both statistics are likely underreported. Youth that live on farms/ranches with livestock production have significantly higher injury rates than youth living on crop farms. Instilling knowledge of animal behavior and good work practices in youth is important to reducing the injuries and fatalities associated with livestock production. This DVD is devoted to safety around beef cattle, diary cattle, goats, horses, sheep and swine. Chapters devoted to trailer safety and production livestock are aslo included.
