Le but de cet avis est de produire un état des connaissances sur les traumatismes non intentionnels survenant à la ferme et de formuler des recommandations quant aux moyens à déployer pour améliorer la sécurité des producteurs agricoles et de leurs familles de même que celle des travailleurs. En effet, la ferme constitue à la fois un milieu de travail et un milieu de vie pour les adultes et enfants qui y passent une bonne partie de leur temps. C'est d'ailleurs pour cette raison que l'avis porte sur les groupes cibles suivants...
Les statistiques concernant les travailleurs agricoles correspondent à 1,7 fois le taux moyen des accidents professionnels non mortels et 3 fois le taux des accidents mortels, ce qui rend ce secteur particulièrement dangereux. En plus des dangers et des risques présents dans les fermes, les tâches de maintenance comportent des risques spécifiques. Le fait qu’il s’agisse d’une activité indépendante et que l’agriculture est souvent une affaire de famille représente un défi supplémentaire pour la santé...
Green jobs—good for the environment, good for the economy. But how do we assure that green jobs are also good for workers? The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), through the Prevention through Design Program, launched the Going Green: Safe and Healthy Jobs initiative to make sure that green jobs are good for workers by integrating worker safety and health sustainability. Green jobs, which have been defined broadly as jobs that help improve the environment and enhance sustainability, offer opportunities as well as challenges for workers. Examples of green jobs include...
OSHA issued a Hazard Alert* about the deadly dangers to workers of engulfment and suffocation while working inside grain storage bins. Grain bins are used to store bulk raw agricultural commodities such as corn, wheat and oats. Workers who enter bins can be engulfed and suffocated if they stand on moving or flowing grain, which can act like "quicksand" and pull a worker under; if they stand on or below "bridged" grain, which can collapse and bury workers; or if they try to loosen grain, which can cave in on workers. The Hazard Alert describes how workers may become engulfed...
There have been two recent fatalities involving shellfish diving in inshore waters. This safety alert is to remind those working in this sector of HSE's guidance and their legal responsibilities. In recent weeks, HSE has investigated two separate fatalities involving diving for shellfish. This can be a dangerous activity and needs to be carried out by competent and appropriately qualified divers. Suitable plans and procedures are key to the whole diving team conducting activities safely and reacting effectively in a diving emergency. Any diving activity undertaken without regard for the Diving...

This Best Practice has been developed to provide a summary of current practices for construction and operation of transportation facilities and working platforms that rely on floating ice for structural adequacy. The focus is on advice that provides effective overice operations while ensuring that a standard of care necessary to protect worker safety is the highest priority. The Best Practice covers the basic steps for planning, design, construction, operation and closure of an over-ice project. Source : http://employment.alberta.ca/documents/WHS/WHS-PUB_sh010.pdf

Workers in various industries and occupations are involved in the care and maintenance of trees, such as tree trimming, pruning, and removal. This work is recognized as having many safety hazards. Although previous analyses have involved subgroups of workers who perform this type of work, no analysis has focused on identifying injured workers from all industries and occupations that perform tree care operations. This report summarizes the characteristics of fatal occupational injuries, using data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and a case series of fatality investigations...
