Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Safety Training
Author: Mark Purschwitz
Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering
Major Program: Tobacco
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) FY19 training in Kentucky, organized by the national GAP organization at three different locations, included key safety training provided by UK Extension. Some 879 people, including 102 owners/co-owners, 772 employees, and 5 other, received training in farm equipment safety. Because 753 people self-identified as Spanish speakers, live translation was provided, including during equipment demonstrations. The translation was very effective, allowing clarifications and questions to be handled immediately.
