The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association was established in 1993 in response to an identified need for a national farm safety networking and coordinating agency to address problems of illness, injuries and accidental death in farmers, their families and agricultural workers. Since then, CASA has worked to improve the health and safety conditions of those who live and work on Canadian farms. CASA is funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Renewal Chapter and has applied for similar support under the federal government's Growing Forward program for 2009–2013.

  • The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association was established in 1993 in response to an identified need for a national farm safety networking and coordinating agency to address problems of illness, injuries and accidental death in farmers, their families and agricultural workers. Since then, CASA has worked to improve the health and safety conditions of those who live and work on Canadian farms. CASA is funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Renewal Chapter and has applied for similar support under the federal government's Growing Forward program for 2009–2013. In the past, CASA acted as facilitator and enabler. For instance, in 2007-08, CASA extended $637,365 to 20 organizations for 24 farm safety projects, directly reaching more than 376,000 producers across Canada. In the future, CASA will operate as a national health and safety initiator and service provider. Canada's agricultural industry is one of the top three most hazardous industries in which to work. And yet, farmers themselves believe their safety habits are better than fair. Farm Credit Canada recently conducted a national survey to determine farmer's attitudes toward safety. The final report is a self-assessment of how farmers visualize their safety performance. They gave themselves a "B". CASA has dedicated itself to close the gap between what they believe and what is actually occurring. At CASA's Safety Summit of October 2008, in Saskatoon, there was consensus that CASA must move forward with the proposed strategic plan. Many of the participants committed, on behalf of their organizations, to support the strategy with time and resources. (en)
