BASELINE SAFETY AND HEALTH PRACTICES

Agricultural Establishments
OSHA proposes to conduct a case study review of relevant safety and health practices among
establishments in the agriculture universe. OSHA plans to conduct 60 telephone interviews with farms
selected at random from the D&B establishment listings. These interviews will use a telephone version
of the same questionnaire to be used in the non-agriculture statistical survey.
At the beginning of the telephone interview, OSHA will inform the respondent of the following
information.

Hello, I’m __________calling for the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. We are conducting a study in the agricultural industry to determine the how many
farms with more than 10 employees have safety and health management programs. We estimated it
