Canadian Agricultural Safety Week takes place March 15-21

The 2026 Canadian Agricultural Safety Week takes place March 15-21, encouraging farmers, farm families, farm workers, and farming communities to make #FarmSafetyEveryday a top priority. 

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) is an annual national initiative delivered by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) that raises awareness about the importance of safe agriculture and showcases how safety directly contributes to the success and sustainability of farming operations. 

According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting data, between 1990 and 2020, there were 2,814 agriculture-related fatalities in Canada.  

“While we know the agricultural industry is one of the most hazardous in which to work, that does not mean we should just accept those risks. Instead, we need to address them with preventative measures,” says Sandra Miller, CASA’s executive director.
