GAP Safety Videos for Worker-Training

Author: Chuck Flowers

Major Program: Tobacco

GAP or Good Agriculture Practices is a term used to help consumers know where and how their food is raised. Our tobacco growers also have to follow the same guidelines of GAP and attend trainings. This year there is a GAP audit for our tobacco producers. A few producers approached me with the idea that I provide their safety training to their H2-A workers for the audit. This would give a third party verification to the process.    University of Kentucky tobacco specialist Dr. Andy Bail
