Life on the farm or ranch provides for little time for other than work.  However, there are some things that need to have time made for -- and safety and training is a big one.    That's where the Alabama Cooperative System can help with a variety of training materials all in one handy place.

The Alabama Cooperative Extension System has pulled data and training materials together on the www.aces.edu/farmsafety   page.  Once on the page anyone interested in learning more about Alabama Farm Safety Management Plan, Catfish Production Safety, Agricultural Safety Fact Sheets, Critical Information for Acreage Owners, Horticultural Business Safety and the Rural Crime Reduction in Alabama 4-point plan can click a link, learn and study within these topics.

This same page even houses Agricultural Safety Statistic pages and links to other Safety programs as well.

The non-agriculturalist may want to check out the page too for safety topics on Chainsaw Use, Hold Downs Used to Secure Cargo, Knowing When and How to Use a Fire Extinguisher, Slow-Moving Vehicles on Alabama Road Ways and Farm Safety 4 Just Kids.
