Section 20 ILCS 210/11.2 - Farm Safety Course

The General Assembly finds that numerous agricultural related accidents occur each year and that often a family member is the only person able to help in these crises until professional help arrives. The Department may establish, by January 1, 1996, a one-year pilot program for a Farm Safety Course to be offered at the Illinois State Fair, to the extent that moneys become available to the Department for that purpose. The course content may include, but not be limited to, the following:

(1) Procedures useful for prevention of the more typical agricultural related accidents.

(2) Instruction about the operation of farm equipment, including how to disengage a piece of equipment.

(3) Basic first aid, especially those procedures most useful for the temporary treatment of typical agricultural related injuries.

The Director, in consultation with the Board of State Fair Advisors, may continue the program beyond one year.
