Harvest is a productive time. The pressure may be exhilarating, but it also creates serious stress. This can only mean one thing: an increased risk of injury. To prevent injury and reap the benefits of the harvest you are working so hard at, take responsibility for your own safety. Injuries happen when you take shortcuts in performing routine tasks, work while mentally or physically fatigued, or fail to follow safety guidelines.

Fire extinguishers can be an important tool in preventing a small fire from growing larger. However, they should not be used to combat large or rapidly spreading fires. The most important thing to do during a fire is to get yourself to safety then call the proper authorities to combat the fire. A building and the property inside are not worth putting yourself or anyone at risk trying to put it out with a fire extinguisher. It is important to understand how to use a fire extinguisher and the limitations they have.

Harassment and violence are workplace hazards and can originate from anyone in the workplace and be directed at anyone. Domestic violence becomes a workplace hazard when it occurs or spills over into the workplace. It may put the targeted worker at risk and may pose a threat to co-workers.  It can be subtle or overt.  Abuse may be deliberate or unintended.  The test is whether a reasonable person knows, or ought to know, that the behaviour would be considered unwelcome or inappropriate by the recipient.  It may be a single event or may involve a continuing series of incidents.  It may involve the abuse of authority or station, or it may involve the workers and affiliated personnel.  Abuse can victimize both men and woman, and may be directed by or towards workers, clients, and members of the public.
