Grain elevator billboards display farm safety tips Ety Scott Hilgendorff Expositor Staff A safe harvest program_ begins •this week as organizers rushed to meet the wheat. harvest that's, almost four weeks, early this year. The program, spearheaded , by a subcommittee of the Huron -Perth Injury Prevention Committee, is designed to help educate farmers about safety on the roads as they bring their crop's from the fields to the , grain elevators. • Working.- with Perth County Cooperati'Ves and W.G. Thomspon and Sons Ltd., two major grain elevators, a total of eight. small billboard -style signs will be posted in sight of farmers as they unload their crops. The signs .will carry some basic safety information and direct farmers to pick up information sheets that further outline information they need to know to Netter protect themselves and other motorists on the roads. The. injury prevention committee. led by the Huron County Health Unit, involves partners from across both Huron and Perth Counties from members of farm organizations,to the Ontario Provincial Police. • The committee has several sub- committees working on injury projects in different areas from preventing falls in seniors to helping farmers get to the elevators safely. This ,is the first major initiative 'for the farm safety subcommittee which is targetting farmers who may not have the pro'per safety features on their vehicles The committee is 0respon,ding to the absensc of enforcement regarding farm equipment laws, such as the need for special slow moving vehicle signs. and the lack of education programs to help raise, awareness of farmers to the requirements they must meet when travelling on public roads. Information sheets will detail some of the specifics and the committee hoPes the hillhoards will encourage farmers to pick up and go through the material The committee also hopes other grain elevators will respond and offer to post hillhoards and carry the information sheets. Anyone interested in taking part in the safe harvest program can contact the Huron County Health Unit at 482-3416.
