Opis

Lack of accidents does not necessarily mean safe operation. Measuring accidents provides one segment of the safety picture, but it is a far cry from evaluating and creating overall safety. Rather than giving accident statistics, this work shows how to do safety. It sets forth the steps needed to make safety a part of everyday farming operation: identification of key safety activities that will lead to better control of losses; setting standards and guidelines for doing that work; measurement of the effectivenes of the work being done in accordance with the standards and guidelines; evaluating programme progress based upon measurements taken; and correcting deficiencies based on the evaulation(s).
