   Extractions: @import url(../../styles.css); Resources Fact Sheets Thousands of children are injured and hundreds are killed every year by hazards found on the farm. Some of these children are working on the farm while others wander into trouble on their own or are invited into hazardous areas. Implement injury prevention strategies today to protect agriculture's greatest resource, our children. Do not allow children to roam freely on the farm. Design a fenced "safe play area." This area should be near the house and away from work activities. Inspect your farm on a regular basis for hazards that can injure children wandering on your farm. Correct obvious hazards immediately. Children who are physically able to be involved in farm work should be assigned age-appropriate tasks and continually trained to perform them. They should also be constantly supervised. Equip all barns, farm shops, chemical storage areas, livestock pens, etc. with latches that can be locked or secured so that children cannot enter. Always turn equipment off, lower hydraulics and remove the key before leaving equipment unattended.

   Extractions: Electrical Safety on the Farm Electricity is an essential source of energy on farms. However, few resources have a greater potential to cause harm than electricity. Electrical systems will function almost indefinitely if properly installed and not overloaded or physically abused. If there are any doubts about the electrical circuits, wiring and equipment on your farm, have a licensed electrician inspect them. Electrical Panels Electricity enters the farm through a control panel and a main switch where a person can shut off all the power in an emergency. This control panel contains either fuses or circuit breakers. Always use the correct fuse for the panel. Never use a greater number, or replace fuses with items like pennies. If there is a stoppage in power, check the control panel. If fuses are used, look for the broken metal strip in the top of a blown fuse. Replace the fuse with one that is marked with the correct amperage. If circuit breakers are used, reset them from off to on.

   Extractions: SAFETY ON THE FARM The effects of heat stress range from simple discomfort to life threatening heat stroke. Heat stress causes increased sweating which leads to loss of body fluid and then reduced heat tolerance. This results in reduced capacity for work, inefficiency, and increased risk of hazardous incidents. Heat stroke, a rarer condition, is when sweating stops and body heat rises. This is a life threatening condition, and requires immediate medical attention. Spot the hazard Heat stress hazards can occur through: Warnings Warning signs of heat stress are: Assess the risk Using weather forecasts, availability of shade, knowledge of the job ahead, and an awareness of individual workers' heat tolerance, assess whether the day's tasks could cause heat stress or heat stroke. Consider ways of minimising or eliminating the risks. Those most at risk Working in a hot environment is more likely to adversely affect people who are: overweight

    Extractions: SAFETY ON THE FARM Operating a Tractor - Topic 1 Tractors are the main cause of accidental deaths on farms. Over the years, many farmers, farm workers and others living on or visiting farms, have been killed or seriously injured falling from moving tractors, being run over by tractors, or being crushed when a tractor rolls sideways or backwards. Spot the hazard Regularly check for hazards relating to tractors, attached implements and field conditions. Hazard areas could include mechanical parts, operator training, other people, work procedures, unsafe jacking, climatic conditions, chemicals used, uneven terrain, and any other potential causes of an injury or a hazardous incident. Keep a record to ensure identified hazards are assessed and controlled. Assess the risk Once a potential hazard has been identified, assess the likelihood of an injury or hazardous incident occurring. For example, risk to children playing near a tractor will vary, depending on what the tractor operator is doing, how close they are to the tractor and whether the operator knows they are there. Consider ways of minimising risk. Make the changes Here are some ways of improving tractor operator safety: Read and follow safety procedures in the manufacturer's manual.

    Extractions: SAFETY ON THE FARM Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancers in Australia. Skin damage from the sun is cumulative - the longer the skin is exposed to the sun, the greater the risk of skin cancers, regardless of your tan or skin pigment. Rural workers have a high risk of getting skin cancers, as their work can expose them to long periods of ultraviolet radiation. Spot the hazard To help you spot skin cancer hazards, consider: Assess the risk To assess the risk of skin cancer from identified hazards: Work out approximately how long is spent working outdoors each day. Identify what jobs are normally done in peak sun - between 10am and 4pm.

    Extractions: The family farm is a great place, but it also holds potential for harm to the ones we want to protect the most, young children. The farm is a unique environment for children to live, play, work and grow up. But agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations, and farm children are routinely exposed to the same hazards as their parents working on the farm. Each year, hundreds of children are killed and thousands more are injured in farm-related incidents. Purpose

    Extractions: SAFETY ON THE FARM The best safeguard against electrocution on farms is the residual current device (RCD) or safety switch. A fixed RCD can be installed instead of a fusebox in your house, shed or workshop, or portable RCDs can be used with individual power tools. Spot the hazard Check to ensure electrical fittings, fixtures, plant and equipment, wiring, insulation, switches, power cords, plugs, earth wires, guarding, and welding equipment are in good condition and regularly maintained. Look for shorting or sparking fittings. Avoid using electrical equipment in wet conditions. Wear safe footwear and clothing. For work on wires, plugs, switches, fuses and electrical plant, call the electrician. Assess the risk Assess each identified hazard for likelihood and severity of possible injury or harm. If there is any risk of electric shock or electrocution, you should have a safe procedures to ensure the hazardous plant is put out of use and either isolated, or kept in a safe place until repaired or discarded. Make the changes The following suggestions will help to minimise or eliminate the risk of electric shock.

They save valuable time and are essential to agricultural productivity. They also represent an ever-present danger to the people who operate them. There are a host of hazards that makes agricultural machinery the leading cause of injury and death on American farms and ranches. This fact sheet summarizes the hazards associated with operating farm machines and presents information about how farmers and farm workers can protect themselves from injury or death when working around agricultural machinery. Safe machinery operation primarily depends on how you operate the machine. Machines are inanimate objects; they cannot think, reason, or adapt to meet the needs of people. The responsibility for machinery safety rests with you. Just as we are told to drive defensively when operating an automobile, machine operators should always be thinking ahead and anticipating potential hazards.

    http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/2347.htm
    
    Extractions: Bulletin #2347 Fire Safety on the Farm F arm fires cost lives and many dollars each year. Most fire victims die from smoke inhalation before the flames reach them. Preventing fire is your first line of defense against heavy losses. Fires need three things to burn: fuel (something to burn), air (oxygen) and heat (something to set it off). Preventing this combination reduces the risk of fire. Housekeeping Shops, garages, machine sheds and barns often are cluttered with unnecessary accumulations of items that could add fuel to a fire. Often, these items are located near sources of ignition. Large amounts of unneeded items that will burn, such as papers, clothing and straw, should be reduced and kept away from heat. Arrange shops and barns so that flammables are safely away from ignition sources. A little rearranging could reduce fire risk considerably. Smoking Cigarette or cigar smoking causes many fires in the United State each year. If you smoke, keep plenty of large, deep ashtrays or receptacles handy. Obey "No Smoking" signs. Avoid smoking in places with flammable materials. Never smoke while refueling. Do not lay lighted cigarettes on wooden tables or workbenches, even if smoking is permitted. Make sure matches and tobacco products are extinguished before discarding them.
