5 Headline News Toddler Dies from Playground Incident 12 Hurt in Miniature Train Incident Pumpkin Patch Petting Zoo Infects 3 Kids Student Falls in Bonfire at Barn Dance 9-year-old Boy Injured at Pumpkin Patch Swimming Hole is Deadly Trap Visitor Injured in Zip Line Incident at Farm
6 Just Imagine If one of these incidents happened at your farm What would be the consequences? Bad Publicity Reduced Attendance Increased Insurance Premiums Lawsuits Operation Closes Bankruptcy?
7 Why is safety important? Unfortunately, these examples provided are not rare events Approximately, 14,000 children are injured each year on farms/ranches 40% of injured children are visiting It is the responsibility of the owners/operators to ensure the safety & health of all guests
8 Your potential guest Unfamiliar with agriculture Parents looking for a free babysitter Easily distracted (cell phones) Rules don t apply to me Common sense doesn t exist

13 Americans are litigation happy! Liability = Legal Responsibility The person or entity who owns or leases property is legally responsible for the well-being of visitors There are inherent hazards in agriculture, but risk can be managed You can take every precaution and still get sued
14 Make sure your assets are protected!
15 How can insurance can help manage your Agriculture Risk?
16 RISK Avoid Reduce Accept Transfer (Insurance)
17 Most farm/ranch insurance policies are written to cover what an insurance carrier considers a traditional farm or ranch. The insurance carrier may consider your agritourism activities as business not farming and your policy may have exclusions or limitations.
18 Do not assume information you received from one company is applicable to all companies (Almost every insurance company has different policy language.) Some companies used standardized forms and some do not. And companies with standardized forms may deviate from them for unique risks like agritourism.
19 Your insurance company may require a commercial insurance policy, rather than a traditional farm or ranch policy. Every insurance company has a different risk tolerance. One company may express more concern over an activity than another company. For example, one company may be comfortable insuring a pumpkin launcher, while another may not.
20 Issue Liability Waivers A liability waiver asserts that your guests assume responsibility for certain risks Does not absolve you of your responsibility for your guests health and safety Is a legal document, valid in court, and highlights risk for your visitors Check with your lawyer or insurance agent
21 Have the Appropriate Legal Structure Your choice will influence many components of your enterprise including management, taxation, and succession planning Sole proprietorship Limited proprietorship General partnership Limited partnership Limited liability partnership Corporation
22 Meet with your insurance agent regularly to discuss: The activities you are providing. The property you are using for agritourism activities. The amount and type of coverage you need. Don t be afraid to ask questions! Be completely open and honest to avoid any surprises at claim time!
23 Employee considerations Background checks on any potential employees who would come into contact with children Follow good hiring practices Orient and train your employees Encourage, empower, reward Documentation is very important Provide safe and health conditions
24 Make sure your assets are protected!
25 Other Concerns Alcoholic beverages Products Liability Vicarious liability Off farm liability Medical Payments vs. Liability Employers Liability vs. Workman s Comp. Business property coverage Individuals requiring special needs
26 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates any business serving the public meet specified accessibility standards including access to: Parking Restrooms Eating facilities Transportation Lodging
27 Think Ahead Information that needs to be communicated with Guests Provide emergency manuals and checklists for employees Role-play situations Conduct Walkthroughs (using checklists)
28 There are many safety and health concerns for all agritourism operations; making sure proper risk management has been addressed and being prepared for the unexpected is key! Additional Resources and materials are available:
29 Checklists
30 National Children's Center for Rural Agricultural Health Safety Checklists Corn maze checklist Farm Market checklist Barriers and Fencing checklist Food Safety checklist Communicating with Guests checklist Machine Safety checklist Hayride Safety checklist Large Animal Safety checklist Play Area checklist Petting Zoo checklist Traffic and Parking checklist Walkways and Structures checklist Water and Attractive Nuisances Checklist
31 In Conclusion Agriculture is risky business Bringing members of the public onto the property increases the risk Farms and agribusinesses best protect themselves from liability by engaging in a proactive safety program To be successful, safety must form an important part of the day-to-day business!
