What is FARM-HAT?

FARM-HAT!

http://www.agsafety.psu.edu/farmhat/

The Farm/Agriculture/Rural/Management – Hazard Analysis Tool (FARM-HAT) is a simple method of providing first-hand information about hazards; a process for evaluating hazards; and recommendations on correcting hazards. It can be used with farming, ranching, roadside farm markets, agritourism farms, and other similar operations. The evaluation system provides users with critical safety and health information using minimal text.
