Maine Farm Safety Program University of Maine Cooperative Extension Bulletin #2311 Electrical Safety on the Farm E lectricity 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. - If a fuse or circuit breaker frequently blows, the circuit may be inadequate for the equipment. Make sure all electrical systems are properly grounded. Keep water and electricity separated. Make sure electric lines are high enough to allow tall machinery to safely clear 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.

A simple checklist may make your farm a safer place. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pphb-dgspsp/publicat/ffh-sfa/vol5-1/ff5-1f_e.html

Spring 1997, Volume 5, Number 1 Child safety on the farm Farms can be dangerous places, especially for children. Machinery, chemicals, animals and open water (ponds and irrigation ditches) can kill or injure an unsupervised child. The statistics tell the story: the Farm Safety Association of Ontario reports that 25 children younger than 10 died in farm accidents from 1990–95; and the National Farm Medicine Centre in the U.S. estimates that 300 children die every year on U.S. farms and ranches; more than 100,000 are injured; and almost 5,000 must learn to live with an injury or permanent disability from a farm accident. In addition, the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) reported 220 pesticide-related injuries and poisonings among children in Canada during 1990–94. The Farm Safety Association has identified some common patterns of accidental injury and death among Ontario farm children, including the following: a lack of supervision or inappropriate supervision during the busy summer months;

Safe Use of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) on the Farm William J. Becker Professor and Extension Safety Specialist Agricultural Engineering Department Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 The all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as three and four-wheelers, was initially developed in Japan as a farm-to-town vehicle in isolated, mountainous areas. During spring thaws and rainy seasons steep mountainous roads were often impassable with conventional vehicles. It soon became a recreational vehicle however, providing transportation to areas inaccessible by other motorized transport. And, it wasn't long before the Japanese manufacturers realized that the ATV could be sold to Americans. When the ATV first appeared in the United States in the 1970's, it was promoted and sold as a recreational vehicle designed to provide "thrills" for the rider. This is still its primary use today. Shortly, however, sportsmen found that the ATV was a useful machine to move through areas not accessible with pick-up trucks, four-wheel drives, or other motorized vehicles. The ATV became popular as a hunting vehicle and was used to reach remote areas and to transport game back out. THE ATV IN AGRICULTURE By the mid-eighties the ATV was finding a use in agriculture. It was found to be an efficient and economical substitute for the pick-up truck, the horse, the tractor, and even for walking in many operations. They can now be found on all types of farms, ranches, groves, in the forest, in the ornamental nursery, and on the golf course.

Insurance Services Child Safety on the Farm Children are naturally curious and are naturally attracted to the many sights, sounds, animals and activities that occur on the farm. Based on amount of time spent in farm-related activities, children are more likely than adults to be injured or killed. The following facts are based on national statistics. Tractors are the main cause of childhood farm fatalities, either by runover, or rollover. Machinery entanglements are the next highest cause of childhood farm fatalities. Studies have shown that from one-third to one-half of nonfatal childhood agricultural injuries occur to children who do not live on farms. Nationally, an estimated 33,000 children are injured and approximately 104 are killed on farms and ranches each year.

February 2002 Français Food Safety on the Farm Introduction Today's farmers are in the business of producing food and they take pride in producing a safe, high quality food product. Consumers are entitled to a safe food supply and Manitoba livestock producers have a responsibility to ensure this happens. "Gate to Plate" programs that ensure food quality and safety are now either in place, or are being put in place, for all livestock groups. Food safety on the farm addresses the issues of chemical, microbiological, and physical residues in food of livestock origin. Chemical Residues Pharmaceutical products, antibiotics, growth hormones, feed additives, and pesticides are used routinely in raising livestock. When used properly, and when drug withdrawal times are followed, chemical residues in the animals are within the limits set by Health Canada. Carcasses of food producing animals and poultry at slaughter are routinely sampled for residues. If residues are found to exceed these limits, the carcass is destroyed and the producer is disciplined. Similar control measures are in place for dairy and egg products. Producers, with appropriate professional and technical advice, utilize animal health products in a responsible manner. Drug withdrawal times are closely monitored, and animals, or their products, are not marketed until recommended withdrawal times have elapsed.

Please read it if you are planning to visit a farm in the future. It will show you some of the things to look out for and help you to Stay Safe DO Stay with an adult and don't wander around on your own. Wash your hands afterwards, if you touch an animal. Some of them carry infectious diseases. Stay away from machines and vehicles, even if they are not moving. The driver might not be able to see you, or you could get caught up in the moving parts. Keep away from slurry pits , sheep dips, ponds, ditches or drains where you could fall in and drown. Stay away from grain bins and silos . They may seem like a good place to hide, but the grain could move and you could be sucked down into it. Close the farm gates behind you. If you take a dog with you on the farm, keep it on a lead all the time, so that it doesn't get lost or frighten the farm animals. DON'T Go into animal pens without a grown up. If the animals are nervous or afraid, they may attack you.

At Natural Selection Foods, food safety and quality assurance begin in the fields, where we enforce stringent controls at every step of planting, growing and harvesting. To monitor our agricultural programs further, we contract with PrimusLabs.com , an independent agency, to conduct spot audits throughout the cycle. We test all new ground for chemical residues prior to farming. Before planting, we audit every ranch that grows our organic produce to ensure compliance with our food safety, worker safety and product quality policies. Our field workers receive rigorous GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) training to achieve our strict quality standards. We test our water, compost and fertilizers for pathogens and harmful bacteria. We prepare the soil carefully to provide all the nutrients our plants need to flourish and yield optimum taste, appearance and shelf life. We custom-produce our own seed stock for our baby salad greens to control the quality and consistency of our varieties. Quality Assurance Supervisors continuously check our fields during the growing cycle to ensure maximum quality, sanitation and safety. Only products that pass rigorous inspection are accepted at our receiving dock.

Centre projects Events Upcoming events Past events Safety on the Farm: The Potential for Regulatory Reform Current OHS regulatory systems seemingly perform poorly in terms of addressing the behavioural and systemic problems of OHS in agriculture, and work-related disease and injury rates are far higher than the general industry average. Traditional OHS regulation strategies that were designed for the manufacturing and construction sectors, and for workers in medium and large workplaces, cannot readily be applied to the very different circumstances of OHS in agriculture. For example, very different strategies are needed to deal with geographically isolated farms, small owner-operated and family-based enterprises with few employees, a limited trade union presence and significantly different systems of work. The aims of this project are to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the current systems of agricultural OHS regulation in Australia, to identify the main motivators and drivers of improved safety performance and to design new regulatory models tailored to meet the specific needs and circumstances of the industry. Very little research has been conducted to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of preventative regulation specific to the agricultural sector and some significant initiatives, most notably, Farmsafe and Agsafe, have been subject to little independent study or evaluation.

Fire Safety on the Farm Burns and other fire-related injuries are the fourth leading cause of unintentional deaths, accounting for 4,200 US deaths in 1994. The highest number of fire-related deaths occur during the months of December and January. Children, especially age 5 and under, are at the greatest risk of home fire-related death and injury. Young children don't know what to do and are likely to panic in a fire. They may hide in a closet or behind a bed instead of escaping. Teaching people how to prevent fire and what to do if fire strikes can save lives and property. Ninety percent of child fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke detectors. One way to prevent fires in the house is to install smoke detectors. After purchasing smoke detectors, where should they go? The best place for smoke detectors is....... outside the bedrooms each level in the home Fires on farms cause millions in property damage annually. The average fire on the farm results in three to six times the losses of the average residential fire. Fire extinguishers are essential items on the farm. Remember barns, other farm buildings, and farm implements when placing fire extinguishers! Prevent a tragedy on your farm by following these guidelines.
