Like most workplaces, farms are prone to unexpected emergencies that can be either natural or manmade. Employers should have an emergency action plan (EAP) in place to prepare for such events and prepare their workers for emergencies before they occur.

- Agricultural Emergencies, such as:
- Wildfires
