Good housekeeping is good management
Slips and falls account for a significant percentage
of accidents occurring in the farm workplace. Some
of these incidents even result in fatalities.
Goodhousekeeping practices certainly.pose a chal-
lenge to the farm manager. However, keeping things
neat and tidy contributes to operational efficiency, as
well as preventing pain and suffering.
Think about the following points next time you go
to the barn or walk around the farm workplace. The
need for a general clean-up may be evident.
1. Are buildings free of accumulations of trash and
other objects that could start or feed a fire, cause
falls, or generally get in your way.
2. Are stairs and ladders in good condition, with hand
rails in place.
3. Are stairs clear of objects and slippery substances?
4. Have damaged floor boards and concrete defects
been repaired?
5. Are ladder openings, hay chutes and poultry house
clean-out openings protected with cages or railing?
6. Are nails removed from loose boards before the
lumber is stacked?
7. Are passageways clear of tools, buckets, slippery
substances, etc. that could cause falls?
8. Is building and yard lighting adequate?
9. Are light fixtures in storage areas containing
combustible materials protected against breakage (i.e.
explosion -proof fixtures)?
10. Is electrical wiring checked and verified as sound.
Are repairs made promptly?
11. Can electrical equipment start switches be locked
in the 'off' position?
12. Are portable equipment power cords and exten-
sion cords usually checked before each use?
13. Do major buildings have lightning protection
systems? If so, are they checked annually to ensure
proper grounding?
14. Are materials and supplies stored so that they will
not fall on someone or collapse if a worker climbs on
them? Stored items should not block passageways.
The Farm Safety Association has developed a series
of self inspection checklists for workplace hazard
assessment. This material can be very helpful for
conducting 'clean up' programs, educating workers
and family members, and establishing safety policy
guidelines for your farm workplace.
Contact the Associations' Guelph office for more
information.
