FARM FIRE SAFETY RULES
Never permit smoking in barns or near any flam-
mable materials.
Never refuel engines inside a building or while the
engine is hot or running.
Avoid spontaneous combustion in hay by making
certain that all hay is properly dried before puffing it
in the barn.
All electrical installations and wiring should be
inspected and approved by the hydro authority.
Only burn rubbish in an incinerator equipped with a
spark arrestor. The incinerator should be located
about 30 m from any major buildings.
All major farm buildings should be equipped with
lightning rods in accordance with the provincial regu-
lations. For Ontario farmers, information about the
Lightning Rod Act is available
at http://209.195.107.57/en/
Crop dryers should be equipped with adequate
controls that will automatically shut off blowers or
dampers when temperatures get too high.
Pesticides should be stored in a separate building
and clearly identified with a warning sign.
Fuel should never be stored inside a building. Field
burning should not be carried out under any circum-
stances.
Have your local fire department check your opera-
tion regularly.

or take a day away from normal work activities. Of all agriculture -related
injuries, 65% of fatal injuries and 50% of injuries requiring hospitalization are
related to the use of agricultural machinery. The very young and the elderly

a wood preservative or clear finish to protect the
wood.
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
Rural areas have higher motor vehicle crash inci-
dence rate and death rate than urban areas. In
addition, crashes in rural areas are more severe.
HAY
When transporting large round bales, try to keep
the bale on the up -side of the tractor. This will pro-
vide the best stability for the tractor to prevent an
overturn.
STRESS
Studies by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health show that farmers have the high-
est rate of death as a result of stress-related condi-
tions. Heat stress, artery disease, hypertension,
ulcers, and nervous disorders top the list of killers.
America's farmers and ranchers have to cope with
more stress than the average worker. Droughts,
floods, pests, long hours, financial concerns, and
other complications can lead to feelings of isolation
and frustration. Experts agree that there are steps
people can take to help cope with the stress in their
lives. To help reduce stress, the National Safety
Council suggests the following:
