 What is It

Time of land clearance

Traditionally Land clearance is conducted prior to the onset of rains,

depending on the land to be cleared. However, it is generally advisable to clean the
land immediately after harvesting. This provide time for crop residue to decompose
over time, prior to the next cultivating season, making nutrients available for the
coming season.

Summary of main point of land clearance

1. If plant residue is not burned on the field, advantages includes:

 Improved soil fertility
 Increase water holding capacity of soil.
 Protection from soil erosion.
2. When stalks are collected and used for fencing and cooking, farmers should
collect the largest stalk and leave behind the small one and remaining
residue to cover/ re fertilize the soil.
3. Farmers should be aware of alternative land clearance methods including
being non selective when cutting down of trees ( instead of felling all tress in
the area to be cultivated).
4. Land clearance is highly recommended after harvesting .

Land preparation

Is one of the most laborious activities performed during crop husbandry.

This includes the steps that will make the soil ready for planting.
Poor farm work practices create hazards – example of unsafe work practices
commonly found in the workplace includes:
1. Using machinery or tools without authority
2. Using defective tools or equipment or using tools and equipment in
unsafe ways.
3. Using hand or body instead of tools or push sticks.
4. Failing to use aid/ or maintained or improperly using of personal
protective equipment of safety devices.
5. Creating unsafe, unsanitary or unhealthy condition by improper personal
hygiene, poor workplace maintenance or by smoking in unauthorized
area.

 What is It

Types of Personal Protective Equipment and Its Functions

HEAD PROTECTION - Task where there is a risk of falling objects or working

on/under equipment could result in a head injury. Wear head protection such as
safety hats.

Helmet - protect the user's head against: impact from

objects falling from above, by resisting and deflecting blows
to the head

EYES AND FACE PROTECTION - Eyes are very sensitive to the chemicals
contained in some pesticide formulations, especially concentrates.

Face Shield - intended to protect the entire face or portions

of it from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects,
large chips, and particles.

Goggles and safety eye glass – forms of protective eyewear

that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye
in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from
striking the eyes.

Hand Protection - Task where there is a danger of cuts, scrapes, bruises or

chemical contact.

Gloves - save the user's hands and fingers from unnecessary

wounds.

Foot Protection - working around animals, heavy objects, in the woods. Farm
chemicals could result in foot injuries.

Boots - help to protect the toes from falling objects or any

kind of compression.

13
 Lung Protection - the respiratory equipment used should match the hazard
present.

Respirator - prevent the wearer from inhaling any type of

particulate matter or contaminant present in the
surrounding air.

Hearing Protection - is required to prevent noise induced hearing loss.

Earmuffs- cover a person’s ear for hearing protection or for

warmth.

Shelf life – is the length of time that a commodity or materials maybe stored
without becoming un fit for use or consumption.

Two types of shelf life:

1. Total shelf life
2. Minimum remaining shelf life

Shelf Life of Different Materials;

1. Gloves
- An exact shelf life time period is dependent on what specific material the
gloves are made of and storage facilities , a general rule of thumb in three
years for disposable natural latex gloves used up to five (5) years for
disposable nitrile gloves.

2. Hat
- There isn’t a legal expiration date for hard hats, most companies used a
policy of five (5) years from the manufacturing date and three (3) years
from the date of issue. If a hard hat becomes damage before the time has
passed then it obviously needs replaced however the 3 and 5 year rule is
good practice to follow.

3. Mask
- The shelf life of mask is a maximum of 5 years from production date.
This is also dependent on storage conditions. For example the mask have
to be stored in their original packaging.

14
 4. Boots
- Good boots or hiking shoes are important in survival scenario. Featured
listings are working again!... gear, know that they probably have a 7-10
years shelf life.

5. Goggles
- When stored correctly and without use, the maximum lifetime of a safety
- eyewear products is 6 years. Depending on the intensity of use and wear
caused by external influences, if protective eyewear has been scratched
or otherwise damaged it must be replaced.

Occupational Health Safety (OHS)

- A planned system of working to prevent illness and injury where you work by
recognizing and identifying hazard and risk.
-
Hazard – it is the potential for farm, or adverse effect on worker’s health. Anything
which may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace is a
hazard.

Risk - Is the likelihood that a hazard will cause injury or ill health to anyone at or
near a workplace. The level of risk increases with the severity of a hazard
and the duration and frequency of exposure. Exposure occur when a person
comes into contact with a hazard.

19
Types of Hazard
Hazards are classified into seven (6) different types. They are

1. Physical hazard – includes floor, stairs, work

platforms, steps, ladders, fire, falling objects, slippery
surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing, pulling),
excessive loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat
and cold, radiation, poor lighting ventilation, air
quality.

2. Mechanical and or electrical - includes electricity,

machinery, equipment, pressure vessels, dangerous goods,
fork lift, crane, hoist.

3.Chemical - include chemical substances such as: acid s

or poisons and those that could lead to fire or explosion,
like pesticides,

4.Biological - includes bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew,

insects, vermin, and animals.

5. Ergonomic hazard – occurs when the type of work, body

positions and working condition put a strain into your body.

6. Work organization hazard – is a hazard or stressors that cause

stress ( short - term effect) and strain ( long – term effect ). These
hazard associated with clean workplace issues such as workload,
lack of control and / effect.
