Promoting farm safety across Canada

Every year, during the third week of March, Canada celebrates the Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW). This annual campaign is dedicated to spreading awareness and providing resources to ensure farming operations remain safe, healthy, sustainable, and successful.

In 2025, CASW is observed from March 16-22. This week-long event encourages everyone involved in agriculture to participate and promote the importance of farm safety. By joining this campaign, you can help share vital information and resources, contributing to a safer farming environment.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is leading this initiative, emphasizing the importance of safety in agriculture and how it directly impacts the success and sustainability of farming operations.

This year, CASW will feature daily themes addressing crucial agricultural health and safety topics, including health hazards on the farm, emergency preparedness, grain safety, mental health, road and rail safety, and women in agriculture.

Sandy Miller, CASA’s Executive Director, highlights the significance of farm safety.

“Every year, far too many lives are lost or irreparably changed due to preventable farming accidents. That’s why CASA is committed to providing Canadian producers with the information and resources they need to protect the well-being of everyone on their farms and ranches,” explains Miller. “Safer farms benefit everyone, and Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is a reminder for all of us to do our part to prioritize farm safety every day.”
