FairShare CSA Coalition, Not Our Farm and University of Wisconsin-Extension have released a new video resource to help farm workers stay safe in hot conditions.
In Hot Potato: Heat Safety Where You Work, they hear from farmers and agricultural service providers as they share their tips, practices, and policies related to extreme heat – from formal ways to institutionalize a culture of safety, to the many informal things one can do as individuals. Give it a watch below!
They have also created a Hot Potato Resource Library, where you will find SOP’s, heat protocols and policies to help you navigate extreme heat on your farm.
