CHECKPOINT 95
Establish a means of emergency contact for farmers
working alone in the fields.
WHY
Farmers often work alone on the farm, in crop fields or
in vegetable gardens. These places are distant from the
community, and there is no one available to provide
immediate help when farmers have accidents or other
emergency problems.
It is important for farmers to let their family
members or neighbouring farmers know where they
are working, and when they get back home. A reliable
means of emergency contact will facilitate the provision
of immediate assistance when an accident happens
