Safety specialists from industry and academia provide the latest statistics and training updates for gin operators and managers.

At the beginning of the ginning season, employees should view safety videos and discuss safe work habits.  Managers should walk through the gin with each employee to instruct how to safely do his job, point out specific hazards, provide and instruct the proper use of safety equipment and make sure all guards are in place before startup.

Safety training videos are available in both English and Spanish and can be obtained from the National Cotton Ginners Association, your regional or state ginning organization.
