IT’S NOT WORTH THE COST! (Entanglement Injuries)

IT’S NOT WORTH THE COST! is a dynamic video featuring a cross-section of Canadian farmers, or a member of a farm family who has been involved in a farming accident. Entanglement injuries occur within the farming community, forestry, fisheries and other industry. These personal stories although tragic, are inspirational.

The video not only depicts an awareness of the different types of injuries but also illustrates the effect that such injuries can have not only on the victim but on their family as well. The average farm has a wide range of machinery and devices that can grab, cut, smash, entangle and even cause death. Farm accidents are not restricted to the inexperienced worker nor are they age or gender specific. The reality is, it only takes a moment for an injury to occur that can impact the rest of your life.

All proceeds go to the Canadian Farmers with Disabilities Registry, a not-for-profit organization that encourages farm safety and offers support to provincial organizations involved with disabled workers and their families.

Established programs are available in New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.

Unfortunately, no one is immune to debilitating accidents. This video is a valuable resource for families, Health Care workers, and anyone interested in machinery safety.
