Statistics prove.,..
More farm deaths annual)
The accidental death rate on
the farm is 20.per cent higher by
" estimate, than the -national
ayerag.e, according to the
Canada Safety Council.
The paradoxical ratio of a
high farm accident rate to a
decreasing percentage of the '
population in farming is partly
explained by the increasing use
of • more powerful •and
complicated machinery. But the
Bask. cause. of accidents --on the
farm or off—is human. neglect of
safety procedures and:
thoughtlessness by farm
• residents themselves.
one year accidents take the
lives of approximately 1,400
Canadian farm and 'rural.
residents.' They injure about
25,000 of, them and permanently -
disable around 1,500.
Studies show that farm
machinery fatalities per 100,000
farmers doubled in the past
decade. Of all fatal machinery
accidents for example /8 per
cent involve tractors and abf
these more than half 'are
overturn accidents. ,
The Canada Council makes
available - through provincial •
Safety councils, a number of
booklets, leaflets, and
:posters on farms safety, Not the
least important is one booklet
on farm machinery safety and
consistent, with the above
'figures, its first ' feature is on
tractors listing 26 points on safe
practices with respect ,to
tractors. For example, since
overturns are frequent, overhead
protective frames (roll bars) and
crush-residtent cabs are: among
the needed features listed for
safety.
Farin mechanization has
reduced ", the' -Mile and- effort
required for many farm
operations and has helped bring
about -the , spectacularincrease
in Canadian agricultural
productivity. But machinery has
brought increased hazards..,And'
though hazards are inherent in
the equipment, it is the human
lack of care and attention to
safe operating practices that
cause the accidents with.
machinery: •
Following the tractor, farm
machines most.. commonly
involved in fatal accidents are
combines, balers, corn. pickers, .
forage harvesters and spreaders.
The principal type of farm
machinery accident involves the
victim being caught in machines
or being crushed. Many farmers
fail to keep guards and
shielding in place or they
attempt to service equipment
while it is under power... In some
accidents they have fallen from
moving equipment. '
According to national studies,
Kincardine
harbor
to be repaired
The tenders for work on
Phase 'A', the south side, of the
breakwater ' i atioris` in
Kincardine harbour will be
called on August -15, reports
Ross Whicher, M.P. for Bruce.
The contract will be awarded
on September 20 and rthe work
is scheduled to begin on October
15....
Phase '8' of the
modifications, the ' north side, '
will depend on the results and
progress of Phase 'A'.
-Mr.~ Whicher .said the -cost-of;.
the project could not ' be
-disclosed at. this- date but he
estimates the ;price at about
$85,000: , -
72 per cent . of accidents
involving rural residents occur
on the farm or in the.farm home
and 28 per cent off the farm.
• On the farm ' 45 per cent
of the accidents happen in. the
-farm yard, 28 per cent in the
field and 27 per cent .in and.
around the home. Off the' farm
42 per cent are- on main
highways, 30 per cent on
secondary roads and 28,: pep cent
elsewhere.
Youngsters are distressingly
significant in the farm accidents
statistics. Ten per cent of farm
machinery deaths occur in the
under -10 age group. A further
16 per rent involve the 10-19 age
group; all of whom are killed in
overturnsor are crushed.
"Children and young people
who lack the physical capacity,
experience and judgement,
should not be permitted to
operate tractors and farm
machinery", . is the warning
given by the Canada Safety
Council and the Canadian Farm
and Industrial • Equipment
Institute.
The organizations also point
`out that the practice of allowing
children ox even adults to ride
as passengers on tractors and
-farm. equipment should not be
permitted:
----TiietT oils and grettges"-regtiife
safe handling too. Accidents
result in lack of knowledge. and
carelessness in the handling and
storage of petroleum products
and in refuelirlg equipment.
Some farmers their employees
and families still forget to turn
off switches while fueling is
being carried out. Another
' example of fire danger is the re-
starting of a 'hot motor when
1u0"11A-§ :rbeeiri-tpilled' on.it If"
near it.
In the farm home, common
,types of .accidents are falls,, fire,
poisoning and, suffocation.
