PLACES FOR APPLICATION OF SAFETY MEASURES IN THE FARM

DEFINITION OF TERMS:

Combustible - any materials that will burn not just by spark.

Flammable - is a material that can easily catch fire under normal
circumstances and with the help of minimal ignition source.
Accelerants - are substances that increase the speed at which a fire
spreads. All accelerants are highly flammable or combustible, but not all
highly flammable or combustible materials are accelerants.
Fire retardant - A chemical used as a coating for or a component of a
combustible material to reduce or eliminate a tendency to burn; used with
textiles, plastics, rubbers, paints, and other materials. Also known as
fireproofing compound.
Ignition - cause of burning by providing heat or spark.
INFORMATION SHEET 1.2

Areas of concern for farm safety

Every farm is different, but hazards common to most farms include:

9
1. Animals – injuries inflicted by animals can include bites, kicks,
crushing, ramming, trampling, and transmission of certain infectious
diseases such as giardia, salmonella, ringworm and leptospirosis.
2. Chemicals – pesticides and herbicides can cause injuries such as
burns, respiratory illness or poisoning.
3. Confined spaces – such as silos, water tanks, milk vats and manure
pits may contain unsafe atmospheres, which can cause poisoning or
suffocation.
4. Electricity – dangers include faulty switches, cords, machinery or
overhead power lines.
▪ Electrical hazards
▪ Electrical Systems and Devices
5. Heights – falls from ladders, rooftops, silos and windmills are a major
cause of injury.
6. Machinery – hazards include tractors without roll-over protection
structures (ROPS), power take-off (PTO) shafts, chainsaws, augers,
motorbikes and machinery with unguarded moving parts.
7. Noise pollution – noise from livestock, machinery and guns can
affect your hearing.
▪ No one should be exposed to over 85 decibels for 8 hours a day
or 40 hours a week, or a peak noise level of 145 decibels.
8. Vehicles – crashes or falls from motorbikes, two-wheel and quad
bikes, and tractors.
▪ All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) – quad bikes are not suitable for use
in all terrains. Despite having four wheels, the quad bike is not
a stable vehicle, due to a high center of gravity and narrow
wheelbase.
9. Water – drowning can occur in as little as five centimeters of water.
Dams, lakes, ponds, rivers, channels, tanks, drums and creeks are all
hazards. Young children are particularly at risk.
▪ Flood
▪ Contaminated drinking water
10. Weather – hazards include sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration and
hypothermia.
▪ Climate change is the alteration of the world’s weather systems
brought about by human activity. It is also known as the
enhanced greenhouse effect or global warming.
▪ Skin cancers
- The ongoing depletion of the ozone layer is increasingly
putting people who spend a lot of the day working outside -
such as farmers - at risk of skin cancer from exposure to solar
radiation.
10
OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN:

1. Fire – highly flammable or combustible materials.

• If at all possible, hay, straw and other types of bedding should
not be stored in the same building in which livestock is housed.
• Care should be taken that these materials are not stored with
machinery or near any type of electrical or source of heat.
2. Manual handling – is any activity requiring the use of force to push,
pull, lift, carry, move or restrain any object.
3. Occupational diseases – poor animal handling and hygiene
practices can lead to disease in farm workers and their families.
• Zoonoses – diseases which can be transmitted from humans to
animals.
• The most common zoonosis is leptospirosis, whose symptoms
are often confused with a severe bout of the flu'. However,
leptospirosis (and other zoonoses) can cause much more long-
term damage than the flu'.
