Farm Safety Walkabout will be helpful for farm families and new worker/employer situations. It is written in general terms so you can apply it to your specific family and farm setting. The RATIONALE section at the top of each page will give parents and/or employers’ important information or reasons for the activities and questions. 1. Gather your family or new employees together when there is plenty of time to complete this activity. Allow approximately one and a half to two hours. 2. The walkabout will start in your home and then take you outside to several areas of concern: the farm yard, farm buildings, and farm machinery. 3. As you complete the walkabout in each of these areas fill in the CHECKLIST in the guidebook. 4. Next complete the ACTIVITIES and SAFETY DISCUSSIONS. These will get the whole family involved.
