Avoid clutter of flammable materials. Maintain heating systems. Equip farm building with a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher. Maine Farm Safety Program University of Maine Cooperative Extension Bulletin #2347 Fire Safety on the Farm F arm fires cost lives and many dollars each year. Most fire victims die from smoke inhalation before the flames reach them. Preventing fire is your first line of defense against heavy losses. Fires need three things to burn: fuel (something to burn), air (oxygen) and heat (something to set it off). Preventing this combination reduces the risk of fire. Housekeeping Shops, garages, machine sheds and barns often are cluttered with unnecessary accumulations of items that could add fuel to a fire. Often, these items are located near sources of ignition. Large amounts of unneeded items that will burn, such as papers, clothing and straw, should be reduced and kept away from heat. Arrange shops and barns so that flammables are safely away from ignition sources. A little rearranging could reduce fire risk considerably. Smoking Cigarette or cigar smoking causes many fires in the United State each year. If you smoke, keep plenty of large, deep ashtrays or receptacles handy. Obey "No Smoking" signs. Avoid smoking in places with flammable materials. Never smoke while refueling. Do not lay lighted cigarettes on wooden tables or workbenches, even if smoking is permitted. Make sure matches and tobacco products are extinguished before discarding them.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Operating a Tractor - Topic 1 Tractors are the main cause of accidental deaths on farms. Over the years, many farmers, farm workers and others living on or visiting farms, have been killed or seriously injured falling from moving tractors, being run over by tractors, or being crushed when a tractor rolls sideways or backwards. Spot the hazard Regularly check for hazards relating to tractors, attached implements and field conditions. Hazard areas could include mechanical parts, operator training, other people, work procedures, unsafe jacking, climatic conditions, chemicals used, uneven terrain, and any other potential causes of an injury or a hazardous incident. Keep a record to ensure identified hazards are assessed and controlled. Assess the risk Once a potential hazard has been identified, assess the likelihood of an injury or hazardous incident occurring. For example, risk to children playing near a tractor will vary, depending on what the tractor operator is doing, how close they are to the tractor and whether the operator knows they are there. Consider ways of minimising risk. Make the changes Here are some ways of improving tractor operator safety: Read and follow safety procedures in the manufacturer's manual.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Farm chemicals: Storage and Disposal - Topic 3 Stored farm chemicals can cause injury or harm if spillages occur, containers leak, labels fall off, and untrained people including children have access to storage areas. Transport of chemicals, and disposal of chemical containers and other wastes, pose separate hazards which can also affect the environment. Spot the hazard Read and follow labels and MSDSs (material safety data sheets) for information on hazards, personal protective equipment, and safe handling, transport, storage and disposal for each chemical. Ensure chemicals are stored in a lockable, well lit and well ventilated area, separated from other chemicals that may cause them to react dangerously. Be aware that solvents in some chemical concentrates can escape as harmful vapours unless containers are well sealed. Assess the risk For each chemical hazard identified, assess the likelihood of an injury, harmful reaction or a hazardous incident occurring. Assess also whether any injury or harm is serious and imminent, and whether steps to minimise or eliminate the risk should be taken immediately. Consider proposed control measures for their likely effectiveness. Make the changes Here are some ways of improving safety in the storage and disposal of farm chemicals.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Skin Cancer - Topic 5 Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancers in Australia. Skin damage from the sun is cumulative - the longer the skin is exposed to the sun, the greater the risk of skin cancers, regardless of your tan or skin pigment. Rural workers have a high risk of getting skin cancers, as their work can expose them to long periods of ultraviolet radiation. Spot the hazard To help you spot skin cancer hazards, consider: Lack of shade in outdoor work areas. Reflective surfaces, eg water, cement, shiny metal or white painted sheds and silos, cement surfaces. What jobs are done in sunlight, and how long they take. What are the peak sun hours. The day's ultraviolet exposure forecast. What body surfaces are exposed to sunlight. Whether sun blockout is provided or used. Whether protective clothing is available and worn. Assess the risk To assess the risk of skin cancer from identified hazards: Work out approximately how long is spent working outdoors each day. Identify what jobs are normally done in peak sun - between 10am and 4pm.

Electrical Safety on the Farm Dawna L. Cyr and Steven B. Johnson, Ph.D. University of Maine Electrical Safety on the Farm If a fuse or circuit breaker frequently blows, the circuit may be inadequate for the equipment. Make sure all electrical systems are properly grounded. Keep water and electricity separated. Make sure electric lines are high enough to allow tall machinery to safely clear them. Electricity is an essential source of energy on farms. However, few resources have a greater potential to cause harm than electricity. Electrical systems will function almost indefinitely if properly installed and not overloaded or physically abused. If there are any doubts about the electrical circuits, wiring and equipment on your farm, have a licensed electrician inspect them. Electrical Panels Electricity enters the farm through a control panel and a main switch where a person can shut off all the power in an emergency. This control panel contains either fuses or circuit breakers. Always use the correct fuse for the panel. Never use a greater number, or replace fuses with items like pennies. If there is a stoppage in power, check the control panel. If fuses are used, look for the broken metal strip in the top of a blown fuse. Replace the fuse with one that is marked with the correct amperage. If circuit breakers are used, reset them from off to on.

Spring 1997, Volume 5, Number 1 Child safety on the farm Farms can be dangerous places, especially for children. Machinery, chemicals, animals and open water (ponds and irrigation ditches) can kill or injure an unsupervised child. The statistics tell the story: the Farm Safety Association of Ontario reports that 25 children younger than 10 died in farm accidents from 1990–95; and the National Farm Medicine Centre in the U.S. estimates that 300 children die every year on U.S. farms and ranches; more than 100,000 are injured; and almost 5,000 must learn to live with an injury or permanent disability from a farm accident. In addition, the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) reported 220 pesticide-related injuries and poisonings among children in Canada during 1990–94. The Farm Safety Association has identified some common patterns of accidental injury and death among Ontario farm children, including the following: a lack of supervision or inappropriate supervision during the busy summer months;

Agricultural Safety NSC Home Agricultural Safety Community Outreach Lesson Plan #2 Child Safety on the Farm by Shari Burgus Introduction The family farm is a great place, but it also holds potential for harm to the ones we want to protect the most, young children. The farm is a unique environment for children to live, play, work and grow up. But agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations, and farm children are routinely exposed to the same hazards as their parents working on the farm. Each year, hundreds of children are killed and thousands more are injured in farm-related incidents. Purpose The purpose of this lesson is to help children recognize the dangers on the farm in order for them to understand the importance of staying away from harmful items and situations. Audience This lesson is appropriate for teaching early elementary school children. It can be used by farm family members, community leaders, and high school agriculture student to teach children farm safety information. Objectives At the completion of this lesson, students should be able to:

NSC Home Library Fact Sheet Library Home Child Safety on the Farm Child Safety on the Farm Thousands of children are injured and hundreds are killed every year by hazards found on the farm. Some of these children are working on the farm while others wander into trouble on their own or are invited into hazardous areas. Implement injury prevention strategies today to protect agriculture's greatest resource, our children. Do not allow children to roam freely on the farm. Design a fenced "safe play area." This area should be near the house and away from work activities. Inspect your farm on a regular basis for hazards that can injure children wandering on your farm. Correct obvious hazards immediately. Children who are physically able to be involved in farm work should be assigned age-appropriate tasks and continually trained to perform them. They should also be constantly supervised. Equip all barns, farm shops, chemical storage areas, livestock pens, etc. with latches that can be locked or secured so that children cannot enter. Always turn equipment off, lower hydraulics and remove the key before leaving equipment unattended.

February 2002 Food Safety on the Farm Introduction Today's farmers are in the business of producing food and they take pride in producing a safe, high quality food product. Consumers are entitled to a safe food supply and Manitoba livestock producers have a responsibility to ensure this happens. "Gate to Plate" programs that ensure food quality and safety are now either in place, or are being put in place, for all livestock groups. Food safety on the farm addresses the issues of chemical, microbiological, and physical residues in food of livestock origin. Chemical Residues Pharmaceutical products, antibiotics, growth hormones, feed additives, and pesticides are used routinely in raising livestock. When used properly, and when drug withdrawal times are followed, chemical residues in the animals are within the limits set by Health Canada. Carcasses of food producing animals and poultry at slaughter are routinely sampled for residues. If residues are found to exceed these limits, the carcass is destroyed and the producer is disciplined. Similar control measures are in place for dairy and egg products. Producers, with appropriate professional and technical advice, utilize animal health products in a responsible manner. Drug withdrawal times are closely monitored, and animals, or their products, are not marketed until recommended withdrawal times have elapsed.
