Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting: an 8-week safety conversation plan
Use one topic each week to connect planning with real work. Adapt the questions, work examples and controls to your site, workforce, equipment and jurisdiction. These topics are editorial starting points; they do not establish training completion, qualification or regulatory compliance.

Week 2
Mobile equipment and people on the ground
Separate routes, blind spots, backing and pedestrian exposure around tractors, loaders and harvest equipment.

JHA development priorities
These are planned task-analysis drafts, not published JHAs. Each draft will need review against actual equipment, site procedures, applicable requirements and qualified-person roles before use.
Planned · 111 Crop Production
Tractor and implement field operation
Pre-use inspection, hitching, travel, field turns and parking on the actual terrain.
Draft status: plannedPlanned · 112 Animal Production
Livestock loading and handling
Move animals through gates, alleys or loading areas using the actual restraint and staffing plan.
Draft status: plannedPlanned · 113 Forestry and Logging
Chainsaw felling and bucking
Assess a defined tree, lean, overhead conditions, exclusion zone, escape route and crew communication.
