Every week should
Even though Farm Safety
Week is officially marked only
from July 25 to 31 this year,
Agriculture Canada says every
week should be a safe one on the
farm.
The adage, 'familiarity breeds
contempt', often is painfully and
sometimes fatally proven on the
farm. That reliable piece of
equipment--if used with contempt
for its recommended operating
procedures--can injure, maim and
kill.
Farm equipment can be
dangerous and a careful operator
pays close attention to his
machines watching out for
hazards such as the following: the
pinch point between the arms of a
hydraulic loader; the ends of
rotating shafts, particularly
splined shafts; mower knife
blades; moving belts on such
equipment as combines or corn
pickers; fly wheels in motion after
a machine has stopped; rotary
mowers which may throw up
stones or other debris;
compressed springs which could
be suddenly released; electrical
appliances, tools or -equipment
which must be properly
grounded.
Farmers should never try to
unplug machinery while it is still
running.
Farm accidents need not
happen if farmers follow some
safety rules. The first is to follow
the standard operating
procedures for any piece of
887-6677
Mr, John Thamer and sons,
be farm safety week
equipment, whether it, is a chain
saw or a combine. Read and
understand the operator's manual
before using the equipment.
Secondly the equipment must
be maintained in a safe condition.
And safety devices must be kept
in place. A spacious service shop
that is well-equipped is a must if a
farmer is to keep h is machinery in
good repair. Proper maintenance
should help avoid repairs in the
field under rush conditions. If a
farmer lacks the skills to do major
maintenance, his shop and its
equipment should be kept within
his capabilities. And he should
keep the shop in good repair;
otherwise it becomes a hazard,
too.
Tractor accidents are generally
caused by inattention of the
operator. This may be inattention
to the ground conditions, speed,
type of attached equipment or to
the standard rule that tractors are
not passenger vehicles.
Even when equipment is
operated properly such factors as
weather, fatigue, noise and
equipment vibration can contri-
bute to hazardous conditions in
the workplace.
Personal safety equipment is
available and reduces or
eliminates injuries. Hard hats,
safety goggles, safety masks,
gloves and work boots provide
protection. However, they must
be worn--a pair of safety goggles
slung around the neck may look
rakish but gives no protection.
