OSHA LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE AGRICULTURE / FARMING INDUSTRY

The agriculture and farming industry faces unique challenges when it comes to safety and OSHA, given the serious and diverse hazards present at many facilities and farms.  We have the industry background and experience to help you face these challenges.  Whether your goal is to prevent an OSHA inspection altogether, manage an inspection already underway, or evaluate OSHA citations received, we can help.

We are intimately familiar with the OSHA General Industry Standards (1910 Standards) and Agriculture Standards (1928 Standards) and the common safety/OSHA hazards and pitfalls at these facilities and farms, having handled countless inspections and citations dealing with guarding, lock-out/tag-out, fall protection, ladders, powered industrial trucks, PPE (hardhats, safety glasses, steel toe boots, etc.), HAZCOM, respiratory hazards (silica, lead, chromium, etc.), electrical exposures, confined space, and document management and retention, and can help you navigate those issues.
