JULY 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we work on the farm. 

Use the form below to list additional safety checks you think
are important when inspecting your farm.

SAFETY CHECKLIST

• Are all workers aware of COVID-19 symptoms?
• Are all workers being screened for COVID-19?
• Do you have a plan in place for workers with COVID symptoms, for COVID sick workers and their return to work?
• Have you conducted a site/farm assessment to identify infection risks? Are workers provided information on reducing transmission in housing areas? E.g. sanitation, disinfection, distancing
• Do workers receive training on PPE use, infection prevention, and infection control plans in language they understand?
• Are you minimizing cross-team exposure by coordinating work schedules for individuals residing together?
