Set rules for tractor use Tragic tractor accidents can be avoided if strict safety pre- cautions are followed, 'says Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Efficient farm production starts by keeping your tractor in safe operating conditiqn. Use the drawbar. Wrapping a chain or cable around an axle can . result in a backward tip. Carry a fire extinguisher and first aid kit on the tractor. Safety shields are designed for your protection. Do not remove them. Always make sure that all 'shields are „in place before the PTO is engaged. Wear closefitting clothing. Loose baggy clothes can be caught in moving parts. Always disengage the PTO before dismounting from the tractor. If you must service im- plements in the field, make sure that all moving parts have com- pletely stopped before removing shields. Do not allow children or any- one unfamiliar ,with the .equip- ment to'operate tractors or r'nach- inery. Engage power smoothly and without jerks, particularly with a front-end loader. Avoid abrupt turns and sudden stops which affect tractor stability, particularly with mounted or drawn implements. Inclines require extreme cati- tion, especially,, pulling heavy loads. Shift to a lower gear downhill, a power gear up hill. A crush-proof cab or a pro- tective frame and seat belt, will give the operator protection If the tractor overturns., Do not operate tractors or machinery over the manufacturer's rec- ommended speed. Take a break if you feel tired. Accidents are`more likely to occur when the operator is less attentive to possible acci- dent conditions due to fatigue.

Knowledge provides, some Protection. These household cleaners, bleaches and polishes which ac- cidentally poison too many under- school-age children a year in Canada, must be labelled to in- dicate the hazard, and recomm- end first aid instructions if inis- handled. The first line of defence in I any home is common sense and the printed labels,, showing the degree of hazard, simply rein- force this; safety can only-be legislated to a- point. Pencils can be dangerous unless used properly, so an table salt. what these latest regulations do is attempt to further reduce, the risk of accidents involving- sol- vents, glues, sanitizers, aerosol cans and dofnestic cleanars made hazardous by the very chemicals in them.' The labelling system is bas- ed On a set of easily-understood 0 symbols which show, what the haiard is' and the degree of. clan- .. ger. , Four- hazard have been pin- pointed: poison -- --- flammable, ex- plosive and corrosive. - Three degrees •of hazard have been de- termined: danger (it could kill 0 you), warning (it could make you ill or hurt you),. and caution (it could make you ill}. , What you have then are 12 basic symbols which can be used in various combinations. No laws and no regulatiOns will protect careless handlers of hazardous products. Safety from them requires alertness and ed- ucation. It is your businesg to heed the warning and prevent the tragedies.
