Confined Space
Once used for hazardous fertilizers, or seeds with
hazardous treatments, your tank may become a
“
permit-required confined space
” under applicable
statutes, regulations, insurance rules or business policy.
When hazardous fumes are present, you can be quickly
overcome even with the tank lid open.
Do not enter a tank for material loading, material
unloading, tank cleaning or valve maintenance.
Clean tank by power washing from outside the tank top.
Perform valve maintenance by removing meters from
bottom of empty tank.
If obstruction removal or repair requires tank entry, have
the work performed by a team trained in confined space
procedures. See “
Use A Safety Chain
Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery.
Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only enough slack in chain to
permit turning.
Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use safety chain for towing.
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be struck
by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to
see, especially at night.
Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever
driving on public roads.
Use tractor lights and lights provided with implement.
