Fathers' Knowledge of Their Youth's Unsafe Behaviors on the Farm
Stoneman, Zolinda; Jinnah, Hamida Amirali; Rains, Glen C.
Journal of Extension, v54 n2 Article 2FEA3 Apr 2016
The study discussed in this article examined the extent to which fathers were aware of unsafe farm behaviors engaged in by their youth. Fathers and youth provided information about the youth's behaviors on the farm, particularly related to tractors/large equipment. Fathers indicated whether they were familiar with the North American Guidelines for Children's Agricultural Tasks (NAGCAT). Youth engaged in numerous unsafe and dangerous behaviors of which their fathers were unaware. Fathers were not familiar with NAGCAT. Extension professionals from agriculture, family and consumer sciences, and 4-H youth development all have roles to play in educating parents about NAGCAT and youth farm safety.
