Farming Inspections and Biosecurity Protocols

Filmlänge

Inhalt

A Ministry of Labour inspector visits a dairy farm in Southern Ontario. Since biosecurity is a major concern for farms, all Ministry of Labour inspectors must adhere to the biosecurity protocol when entering a farm. This video shows how an inspector prepares for a farm inspection. The video then outlines what an inspector looks for when inspecting farm machinery and animal control. These "inspector" videos use ministry inspectors, not actors. By showing what farming operation must do to be in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations, the ministry expects to achieve increased cooperation during its inspections and improved workplace health and safety in that sector. As well, by using actual ministry inspectors in the video instead of actors, the video helps put a "human face" on our inspection staff, showing that they are experts in their field.
