Agriculture is a hazardous industry. Tractors and other farm machinery can cause serious injury if used improperly and workers must be constantly alert on the job. Here are five key tips to make your farm or ranch safer:
Inspect equipment routinely for problems that may cause accidents.
Discuss safety hazards and emergency procedures with your workers.
Make sure guards on farm equipment are replaced after maintenance.
Review and follow instructions in material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and on labels that come with chemical products and communicate information on these hazards to your workers.
Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos, or hoppers. Never “walk the grain.”
