We also did not know at the time that he had a brain shrinking disease.

We all want to do good work and feel respected and appreciated for the work we contribute to the success of the farm. Having a tough conversation about safety requires a few considerations:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Safety First<\/h4>\n<p>Telling someone that their abilities are no longer safe is necessary.<\/p>\n<h4>2.\u00a0Approach<\/h4>\n<p>Take the other person\u2019s perspective, use sound listening skills, and ask them to consider the risk to others and themselves if they cannot function safely. We were concerned that Dad would hurt himself and possibly others, so he had to stop driving.<\/p>\n<h4>3.\u00a0Create Solutions<\/h4>\n<p>What jobs can still be performed well? Ask the elder person, \u201cWhat does a good day on the farm look like to you?\u201d and find new tasks that work.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Respect<\/h4>\n<p>Use can use phrases like \u201cI am just curious, do you realize that you (Fill in the blank ________,) for example, did not check all the things you needed to before you started up?\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>5. Attack the Issue, Not the Person<\/h4>\n<p>Profanity, blaming,\u00a0or accusations are not going to help the situation.&#8221; We have a problem here, your abilities to respond quickly are changing, what do you think is a good adjustment to make?&#8221; My father was very angry with me the day he was no longer allowed to drive (due to his Alzheimer\u2019s), but I was more concerned about his well being and the well being of others. Sometimes you have to be able to accept the hurt and frustration of others in their anger and not take it personally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Depositphotos_183990334_m-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3440\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Depositphotos_183990334_m-2015-710x474.jpg\" alt=\"safety talk considerations\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of the considerations farm families need to have when it comes to having the safety talk with other. Also, you should watch the video on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pytJtoG4bp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Managing Generational Expectations<\/a>\u00a0for more tools for talking about tough issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety Resources:<\/h3>\n<p>There are lots of great resources available for farms who are ready to have better safety on the farm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.casa-acsa.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Agricultural Safety Association<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e2tlF9A7l6U&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PEI Federation of Agriculture &#8211; Foreign Worker Farm Safety Training Video<\/a>. This video was created by PEI for foreign workers, but I plan to use it with a young teen who is working in our yard this summer. It is only 15 minutes in length, but it is really well done, and teens love to watch videos!<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it is time for a farm safety consultation. In Manitoba, you can go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manitobafarmsafety.ca\/farm-safety-consultations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manitoba Farm Safety Consultations<\/a>. Or search your provincial agricultural policy association for what is available in your province.<\/p>\n<p>I have a farm safety box of resources that I glean from all the ag. trade shows that I attend over the winter. Some of those stickers and decals make it to a wall in the farm shop or tractor. There are ice cream pails of farm first aid supplies in tractors. It seems like it is never enough. We can have tons of information in our farm offices, but what time have we blocked off to actually do the training and talking that makes sure that every worker on our farm understands and follows our safety culture?<\/p>\n<h3>A Safety Culture on the Farm<\/h3>\n<p>Culture is an invisible glue that holds the farm together, it is what you believe about safety, how you behave by acting in a safe manner, and what you decide about following regulations and safety guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>This all hits close to home for us in 2018 as our grand-daughter turns one and we begin with keeping another generation safe on our farm. \u00a0I remember keeping our toddler son in the safe zone, and now he is the father and the successor on safety watch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Depositphotos_43250663_m-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3441\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Depositphotos_43250663_m-2015-710x473.jpg\" alt=\"safety talk - next generation\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think the biggest factor in farm safety is your attitude towards being safe and cleaning up hazards, or preventing accidents in the first place. I am a big fan of encouraging good sleep so folks are well rested on the job. As a farm family coach, I see toxic farm cultures where folks yell and scream at each other rather than acting as mature adults and creating solutions to conflict. High stressed families in conflict use way too much emotional energy in a negative fashion which creates distracted management.<\/p>\n<p>I also believe that our bodies, mind, and spirits need good fuel. That means eating regular nourishing meals, affirming each other, and taking care of our mental health on a daily basis. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.domore.ag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Do More Ag foundation<\/a>\u00a0is working to address ways to help farmers cope with depression, stress, and anxiety, and know that they are not alone. As a depression survivor, I encourage all farmers who have a genetic history of depression and anxiety to seek out treatment with their medical doctor.<\/p>\n<p>So, you\u2019ve had your pep talk now. What are you going to do? Make the safety stories on your farm happy ones. Stay safe.
