INJURY TRENDS 1

Upon completion of this unit you will be able to identify injury trends in the dairy industry and apply that knowledge to assessing hazards and making safety improvements on your dairy operation. LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2

1. Describe major injury trends in the dairy industry. 2. Identify areas of concern for potential employee injury that are present on the dairy operation. 3. Understand the high risk areas in order to prioritize and focus more attention to those areas. 4. Understand the relationship between injury and illnesses and the effect on profitability. LEARNER OUTCOMES 3

 Dairy farming is a high hazard occupation  Employee safety and health is integral to a successful operation  Losses from injuries and illnesses cut into profits  Continuous process improvement is key! INJURY TRENDS: LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS 4

 Assessment – first step in the process  Identify areas of concern  What are your top 3 areas of safety and health concerns on your dairy operation? ASSESSING THE RISK AND HAZARDS 5

 80,300 work-related injuries occurred to adults on farms  75% of the injuries were to adults living on the farm  Common types of injuries were sprains, strains, torn ligaments, fractures and cuts  Common sources of injury were animals, the ground, and tractors NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INJURY TRENDS 6

IMPORTANT NOTE: Every day, about 243 agricultural workers suffer a lost-time injury. Five percent of these injuries result in permanent impairment. NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INJURY TRENDS 7

 OSHA’s Safety Pays Program can be used to calculate loss of profitability to your operation.  Website: etypays/index.html IMPACT ON PROFITABILITY 18

 For every $1.00 invested in an effective safety and health program, the return on investment (ROI) is $ $6.00.  Sound business practice: Having dollars to invest in your business rather than trying to recover from injury losses. IMPACT ON PROFITABILITY 19

 Have your top 3 areas of concern for health and safety on your farm changed after viewing this data? If yes, how?  Identify the top three causes of injury related to dairy farming.  How can you use this data to improve safety on your farm? QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW 20
