The BC 4-H Farm & Home Safety Committee is dedicated to bringing information and reminders about safety in our everyday lives to as many homes as possible. Safety is an important issue in our day to day living not only in our work, but our leisure and recreational activities as well. If even one accident can be prevented it is worth the effort!

Specifically, this program is targeted to:

• Raise awareness of farm safety issues with 4-H youth and rural families.
• Reduce the number of accidents and deaths on farms and in rural communities.
• Educate and train 4-H members, and rural and farm families on safety.
