- This interactive webinar covers approaches to controlling farm hazards and helps participants begin a hazard control plan tailored to their operation.
Risk management involves identifying and mitigating hazards on the farm. During this webinar, we will discuss common approaches to controlling hazards and provide examples of how each approach can be implemented on a farm. Participants will then work to develop a plan to control the specific mix of hazards present on their farms. During the optional second hour, participants will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the material and continue working on their plan. Plan for an interactive webinar and come prepared to participate in discussions and activities. This webinar builds on the content of a previous AgWorks webinar; the recording and materials will be shared with participants in advance of this webinar.
