We train and prepare to prevent the unthinkable

Farmers Cooperative makes safety a top priority to protect our employees, contractors, vendors and guests. We provide ongoing training to prevent accidents and respond in a way that's appropriate and under best practices should an accident occur.

We work with local fire departments to help them understand the potential hazards at our facilities, so they are better prepared as first responders. We also supply them with tools like grain bridges to assist in grain bin rescues.

Every individual at Farmers Cooperative must take ownership of his or her own safety and the safety of co-workers and work environment. We've created a safety guide called CARE for employees to document their actions related to safety.

Consequences - There are consequences for our actions or inactions regarding safety.
Accountability - There must be understanding of who is accountable for which safety actions.
Responsibility - Each individual is responsible for ensuring that safety protocols are followed.
Expectations - We should have expectations about safety measures and make others aware if something does not need an expected level of safety.
