Syngenta Canada is partnering with Agriculture for Life to bring the Young Farm Workers Safety Day programming to Alberta youth.

Safety Day targets students in Grades 9 to 12 with interactive sessions on the risks associated with rural and farm environments. It includes practical, hands-on learning on a variety of safety topics such as risk assessment, livestock handling, chemical safety, and large equipment usage.

The program, which will reach about 500 Alberta students, is part of a worldwide Syngenta plan to train 20 million farm workers on labour safety.
