responsibilities
instruct everyone working on the form in
the emergency response procedures
everyone should know the location of
firearms fire extinguishers and first
aid kits how and where to contact
emergency services and where to safely
assemble in the event of on emergency
the following factors may increase risk
of injury or emails for farm workers
first age
injury rates are highest among children
age 15 and under and adults over 65
most farm accidents and facilities
involve machinery proper machine
guarding and doing equipment maintenance
according to manufacturers
recommendations can help prevent
accidents
farm works that involve using chemicals
as are the tools and equip
spraying chemicals examples of chemical
hazards spraying in a strong wind and
the spray drifting over a dome or the
farmhouse
washing spray equipment and the water
running into open drains
collecting in puddles or running into
stockers or dumps
containers or chemicals left lying
around empty containers lying in a heap
some ways you can reduce the risk of
hazards from chemicals are
use personal protective equipment such
as respirators water from clothes rubber
gloves and waterproof footwear
make sure chemicals are safely stored
and cupboards lock never spray chemicals
on days when there is a high wind no
first aid procedures and keep a list of
all hazardous substances used on the
farm safe use of chemicals
consider if a chemical substance is
really needed eliminate a hazardous
substance or if that is not possible
substitute it with the less hazardous
one
safe work practices or personal
protective equipment should be used and
keep records of warm chemicals for land
preparation using tractor victims fall
off are thrown from the tractor run over
by either the tractor or implement being
told or bought
overturned
safety reminders tractors are not
passenger vehicles
use seat belts when driving tractors
ropes will protect the operator from
serious injuries
causes of run over accidents
sudden stops driving over holes stumps
and debris at a sharp turn
how to prevent run over
never allow riders or tractors
discuss with family members and farm
workers the potential risk of riding
tractor
it also helps to pose narratoristic
calls on all trucks to remind others
about the policy
use or provide other vehicles that allow
passengers such as trucks or cars when
transportation is needed to fields or
remote work sites

protect those from the elements blades
such as electric head streaming's blades
hole shovels and other metal surfaces
can be sprayed with lubric spray the
blades then turn them on to make sure
all works into all areas all electrical
and petrol gardening equipment need to
be covered over with a blanket or sheet
if kept in a shed this will prevent dust
and dirt getting to them
for general cleaning procedures be
properly trained on the cleaning
procedures
develop a cleaning program and schedule
according to recommended frequency and
the cleaning program should be monitored
to ensure its effectiveness
cleaning must not take place while fresh
vegetables are being harvested packed
handled and stored
water that is used for cleaning must be
safe the cleaning of equipment tools and
containers must take place in a
designated area away from field storage
of agricultural inputs and fresh fashion
when using cleaning and disinfection
chemicals the farmer and her farm
workers must become familiar with the
instructions use of these products
strictly adhere to all precautionary
statements and mixing instructions
protect equipment tools containers and
fresh version working with any chemicals
for cleaning reusable containers
remove as much as possible plant debris
soil and residues of any kind use a
brush or a proper tool when necessary
inspect containers for physical damage
which might injure spoil and contaminate
fresh vegetables if found refer them
inspect containers for any misplant
debris
soiling residues if foundry cleaned
if cleaning or disinfection chemicals
are used follow label instructions for
mixing
rinse containers with clean water when
possible containers should be placed
under the full sun for rapid drying
store reusable containers properly to
avoid contamination
for cleaning equipment tools and garbage
cans remove as much as possible planted
resoil and residues of any kind use a
brush or another appropriate tool when
necessary and spec equipment for
physical damage which might endure is
spoil and contaminate fresh vegetables
if found repair them inspect equipment
pools and garbage cans for any
misplanted priests salt and residues if
found clean or disinfection chemicals
are used follow label instructions for
mixing as required apply cleaning
materials such as detergent and or
disinfection chemicals and ensure that
no spots are missed
rinse with safe water if there are parts
of the equipment that cannot be rinsed
with water use a clean wet towel and
follow the same procedures for cleaning
ensure that the small equipment and
tools do not touch the ground floor
