• Description:
  In the previous Progressive Dairyman safety article, we discussed the importance of owner and management commitment to an on-farm safety program. The article communicated that it is imperative that owners and managers become involved and participate in a safety program. However, modern dairy farms are growing in size, and this necessitates the owner and manager to delegate important tasks and responsibilities to a growing number of employees. Where many expanding business owners struggle is in the involvement of workers in a safety process by delegating safety responsibilities to workers, as well as establishing safety accountability among workers.
