Just a reminder, labour is provincially regulated so we encourage farmers to refer to the NS Labour Standards Code to ensure provincial compliance. Specifically in relation to the “Health and Safety” section of the AgriHR Toolkit, we encourage farmers to use our robust “Guide to Your Farm Safety Plan.” (farmsafetyns.ca), which we guarantee meets the NS Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations.
