Children On The Farm
Through National Farm Safety Week, the Canada Safety Council has highlightedthe importance of diligence and safety on the farm for over 25 years.
http://www.safety-council.org/info/OSH/farmchild.htm

Extractions: Children on the Farm Farm related fatalities claim over 100 lives every year in Canada, far exceeding any other home-based business. Children under 15 accounted for 14% of hospitalized farm injuries. Among these injuries two-thirds of the deaths and three out of every five hospitalizations involved agricultural machinery. Injuries to farm children peak in the summer - one-third happen in July and August. Too often, both children and parents consider the entire farm a play space. Farm children live in a workplace - one that exposes them to machinery, chemicals, livestock and other hazards. The best way to keep youngsters away from the risks is to have a specifically designated play area in the farm yard. Machinery : Youngsters can fall from tractors operated by an adult, often when an operator starts a machine without knowing the child is in the area. Never let children ride on farm tractors. Flowing Grain : It takes only two or three seconds to become helplessly trapped in flowing grain. Crushed or bridged grain can suddenly collapse. Flowing grain in bins and wagons can drag an unsuspecting victim down like quicksand. Make grain bins and work areas off-limits to children.

Agricultural Safety Break
Gas and Electric safety on the farm and Ranch What You Should Know (Summary ofSafety Breakfast Meeting held Wednesday, May 12, 1999) ELECTRICITY AND GAS
http://cati.csufresno.edu/cab/good/stories/safebr/safe-break-may99.html

Extractions: ELECTRICITY AND GAS: PLEASE USE THEM SAFELY "Look up and live!" That is the persistent message being given to farm and ranch workers by the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) these days. California's central and coastal valleys are some of the richest agricultural areas in the country, and one technology that has greatly bolstered production has been electricity - to run pumps that deliver irrigation water throughout the area, noted PG&E spokesman David Powell during Fresno State's May Safety Breakfast Meeting. The meetings are hosted monthly by the university's Center for Agricultural Business. "Electricity and gas can be found everywhere on the farm and ranch," noted Powell, a senior program manager in public safety for PG&E. And where you find electricity, you will probably find electrical lines - since for decades that has been the conventional method for delivering the power. One problem is that people get perhaps too familiar with electrical lines above and around them. "Electricity and gas are so safe and reliable that people may forget that they're thee... until an accident happens. Every year, farm and ranch workers are injured and killed because they accidentally hit power or gas lines overhead or underground," Powell noted.

http://www.dodgeglobe.com/stories/050804/ag_0508040072.shtml

Extractions: MANHATTAN All terrain vehicles have become indispensable for some farmers. However, ATVs can also be dangerous if safety precautions are not followed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been tracking ATV safety issues for several years and reports that accident and injury rates are increasing at a rate higher than would be expected, based on new sales of the vehicles. The CPSC's data supports the conclusion that ATVs are dangerous and are often used improperly resulting in injury to the rider. The use of personal protective equipment is the first step toward ATV safety, according to Kansas State University Research and Extension's agriculture safety specialist, John Slocombe. He recommends the following equipment for personal protection when driving an ATV:

Horse Fence, Pasture Fence, Non Climb Fence: Equi-Tee Farm And Fence
Manufacture and distributor of high quality products to add safety and security to horse fencing.
http://www.fencingsolutions.com

Extractions: Although there are many pasture fencing styles to choose from, most are not optimized for horses. We manufacture and distribute high quality products to add safety and security to horse fencing to reduce horse injuries and excessive maintenance. You can build an attractive, inexpensive fence or arena yourself that is secure and increases the value of your property. By utilizing the strength and security of non-climb and the beauty and safety of white vinyl we have produced the perfect hybrid fencing solution that you see pictured here, a new fence style that we call "Equi-Fence". It is important to note here that Equi-Tee manufactures and markets only one component of the "Equi-fence" system, the adapter Because of the high cost of freight, it is not economical for us to sell you the top rails, t-posts and non-climb wire. These components will need to be acquired locally, however; many companies will supply you with a nearby dealer address . A quick estimate of the cost of a fence is approximately $2.65 per lineal foot

Farm Alarm: Coping With Stress
In addition to an informative brochure, farm Alarm consists of a theaterbased workshop that explores various stressors that have an impact on the safety, health and quality of life of farm families throughout the Midwest.
http://safety.coafes.umn.edu/farmalarm/

Extractions: The players portray farmer's lives with the many things that often lead to a large buildup of stress. (Photograph by Ron Van Zee) Partners for Farm Health and Safety recently developed a resource entitled Farm Alarm: Coping with Stress . In addition to an informative brochure (available in our publications section), Farm Alarm consists of a theater-based workshop (performed by Theatre at Work ) that explores various stressors that have an impact on the safety, health and quality of life of farm families throughout the Midwest. Several studies show a direct connection between a person's level of stress and their potential for an on-the-job injury. Stress is linked with numerous illnesses and diseases such as heart disease, ulcers, hypertension, and infection. With farming ranking as one of the nation's most deadly industries, we believe that many farm safety and health decisions are directly influenced by the high stress level in agriculture. To reduce injuries and occupational illness among farm families, we must work to help farmers manage stress. The workshop is made interactive with the audience through the mediator who coordinates the discussion throughout the performance. The script was based largely on interviews with Minnesota farm families during which they talked about the influences of stress in their lives and described how successful families can cope with stress.

See too: our Midwifery Video I would like to make a donation to the Farm Midwives The Safety of Home Birth: The Farm Study Am J Public Health, Abstract Pregnancy outcomes of 1707 women, who enrolled for care between 1971 and 1989 with a home birth service run by lay midwives in rural Tennessee, were compared with outcomes from 14,033 physician- attended hospital deliveries derived from the 1980 US National Natality/National Fetal Mortality Survey. Based on rates of perinatal death, of low 5-minute Apgar scores, of a composite index of labor complications, and of use of assisted delivery, the results suggest that, under certain circumstances, home births attended by lay midwives can be accomplished as safely as, and with less intervention than, physician-attended hospital deliveries. Introduction Despite a sizable body of literature on the subject, the authors of two recent reviews have concluded that a final judgment regarding the relative safety of home birth still cannot be made.1,2

Georgia Farm Bureau Safety: Hypothermia
When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Extractions: Working Outside in Winter When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, a form of hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia develops when a person gets so chilled that their body is unable to warm up and their natural defenses against cooling start to fail. The chilling conditions of hypothermia set in when the body loses heat faster than it retains heat. Farmers and others who work outside for hours at a time are the most susceptible to hypothermia. Contact with water can bring hypothermia on even faster, be-cause water cools your body temperature 25 to 30 times faster than air. If you are drenched from rain or perspiring heavily, you will lose body heat faster than you would under dry conditions. If you have to work outside in wet conditions, you should try to dress appropriately. Proper clothing includes rain gear, gloves, sturdy work boots, and headgear. About half of your body heat escapes through your head, so wearing a hat can slow down that process. The common symptoms of hypothermia include: uncontrollable shivering, cool skin, rigid muscles, weak pulse, a slow reaction time and slurred speech.
