  1. ANIMAL PRODUCTION Apply Safety Measures On Farm Operations

  2. Do you know • What are the things use commonly in applying safety measures? • How these things use properly? • Is it necessary to all people that work under Animal Production?

  3. DEFINITION OF TERMS Chemical Substance • - is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods, without breaking chemical bonds. They can be solids, liquids or gases. Ecology • is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment.

  4. First Aid • Is the provision of initial care for an illness or injury. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) • refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garment or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury by blunt, impacts, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and infection for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, and in sports, martial arts, combat, etc. Personal armor is combat-specialized protective gear. Pollution • is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem. Physical systems or living organisms.

  5. Waste Management • the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. Waste • are unwanted and useless materials

  6. Materials And Resources • Personal Protective Equipment • Wet weather clothing • Coveralls • Eye protection • Footwear • Gloves • Hearing Protection

  7. Respiratory Protective Equipment • Safety Helmets • First Aid Kit Materials • Acetaminophen • Adhesive bandages • Adhesive tape • Alcohol prep pads • Alcohol-based hand sanitizing gel • Antibiotic ointment • Assorted adhesive bandages • Chemical heat packs • Elastic bandages, 3 inch-wide • Gauze bandage, 3-inch roll • Ibuprofen

  8. 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 Chemicals • pesticides and herbicides can cause injuries such as burns, respiratory illness or poisoning Confined spaces • such as silos, water tanks, milk vats and manure pits may contain unsafe atmospheres, which can cause poisoning or suffocation Electricity • dangers include faulty switches, cords, machinery or overhead powerlines. Weather • Hazards include sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration, and hypothermia.

  9. Heights • falls from ladders, rooftops, silos and windmills are a major cause of injury. Machinery • hazards include tractors without roll-over protection structures (ROPS),power take-off (PTO) shafts, chainsaws, augers, motorbikes and machinery with unguarded moving parts. Noise pollution • noise from livestock, machinery and guns can affect your hearing Vehicles • crashes or falls from motorbikes, two-wheel and quad bikes, tractors 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.

  10. Health and Safety Hazards on Farm • Farm workers—including farm families and migrant workers—are exposed to hazards such as the following. • Chemicals/Pesticides • Livestock handling • Slips/Trips/Falls • Machinery/Equipment • Sun/Heat • Highway Traffic • Electricity • Lifting • Cold

  11. Hand tools • Noise • Dust • Ponds • Silos • Wells • Toxic gases • Grain bins • Manure pits • Tractors • Mud

  12. Injuries or Illness of Farm Workers Age • Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and adults over 65. Equipment and Machinery • Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery. Proper machine guarding and doing equipment maintenance according to manufacturers‘ recommendations can help prevent accidents.

  13. Protective Equipment • Using protective equipment, such as seat belts contractors, and personal protective equipment (such as safety gloves, coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, and face shields) could significantly reduce farming injuries. Medical Care • Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not readily accessible in rural areas near farms.

  14. Personal Protective Equipment The law requires that personal protective equipment be provided for use at work and must meet an appropriate standard and must be CE marked. The key issues are: • Personal Protective Equipment • Respiratory Protective Equipment • Gases and Vapours

  15. Personal Protective Equipment includes the following : • Coverwalls • Eye protection • Footwear • Gloves • Hearing Protection • Respiratory Protective Equipment • Safety Helmets • Wet weather clothing

  16. Respiratory Protective Equipment Suitable RPE can be used to provide protection against broad types of substance : • Dusts • Fibers • Mists • Fumes • Micro-organisms • Gases and Vapors
