Editor's Notes
- Whether it is a manure release or excessive odor, there may be an impact not only on the farm but on the surrounding area. Environmental disasters can be financially very costly and .
- There are 3 simple steps that you can take to reduce the risk of a heath safety or environmental
- Every individual throughout the pork supply chain has a role in building and maintaining trust in the industry. From facility owners to animal caretakers to drivers who transport hogs, everyone has the responsibility to do his or her part to demonstrate a commitment to responsible pork production. This begins with a pledge to uphold a core set of ethical principles. These principles make clear the industry’s values in food safety, animal well-being, worker safety, community outreach and protection of both the environment and public health. The We CareSM initiative is a joint effort of the Pork Checkoff, through the National Pork Board, and the National Pork Producers Council, to help demonstrate that producers are accountable to established ethical principles and animal well-being practices.
- Training is important for everybody – new employees and old, supervisors, managers and animal care takers.
- Why is training important? What are the advantages? Safety training for example -Legal requirement – OSHA requires that employees are made aware of workplace hazards -Injuries can be prevented through greater understanding of the hazards and how injuries can occur -Sets the tone for the importance of safety in your organization or farm. Corner stone of your safety culture Training can be 2 way – opening up the safety or environmental management conversation Other training Improves professionalism – Do things the right way Enable employees to reach their potential Improves production performance An investment in people Manure spills can be avoided

- Register today at the Pork Board booth here in the VI building
- Safe pig handling seems to have been favorably received so it makes sense to follow the same formula for success with general safety training
- Printable Daily reminders
- Printable Individual or small group training As reminders when unsafe acts, behaviors or conditions are observed.
- 4-7 minute videos CBT – for individual training Video for group training
- Knowledge check To check and evaluate understanding Images for knowledge check (1-2 minutes) Simple, quick skill test (5 minutes) Power point for: Group training Facilitator Guide including narration from the video Editable to add your own policies and procedures.
- A carbon footprint is a technical assessment which determines the amount of emissions of certain gases from a process, activity, business or even a person’s lifestyle. The gases involved are often referred to as Greenhouse gases as they are believed to contribute to the greenhouse effect which traps heat in the atmosphere and has the potential to cause climate change.
- These tools are designed and developed to meet different learning styles
- Training is not the complete answer to preventing injuries and environmental problems. It is only part of the answer. Your barn culture can have a significant effect. Who sees a supervisor stopping an employee in unsafe act in this picture? Who sees an employee stopping a supervisor in an unsafe act? Could/would that situation occur on your farm? Coaching or policing OSHA Rules – bonus programs. Retaliation – disciplining of employees after an accident when no one has been disciplined for the same violation prior to there being an accident.
- Culture: It’s not just about motivation. You can provide all the pizza lunches you want but your employee are not going to be motivated to raise issues or ask questions if they know you are not going to listen.
- If you have tried smoking, you probably remember that first cigarette was pretty foul tasting and may have left you coughing and spluttering – but you probably did it to fit in. We do that at work too. If there is a “macho” culture on the farm, some employees will take risks to fit in. Not wearing PPE, or not wearing it properly, not using a sorting board or climbing over penning.
- Under the new rule, all establishments with 250 or more employees in industries covered by the recordkeeping regulation must electronically submit to OSHA injury and illness information from OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301. Establishments with 20-249 employees in certain industries must electronically submit information from OSHA Form 300A only. Incentive programs that intentionally or unintentionally deter employees for not reporting injuries. For example employer might enter all employees who have not been injured in the previous year in a drawing to win a prize, or a team of employees might be awarded a bonus if no one from the team is injured over a period of time. These programs may lead to unlawful discrimination if a team may lose their bonus if a member reports an injury. Similarly, the incentive may dissuade an individual from reporting an injury. Disciplining of employees after an accident could be construed as retaliation for reporting an injury Culture – both a Safety and a general barn culture will also play a part in determining whether or not a safety, health or environmental disaster will occur. Coaching or policing OSHA Rules – bonus programs. Retaliation – disciplining of employees after an accident when no one has been disciplined for the same violation prior to there being an accident.
