GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Protect yourself.
When assembling, operating, and servicing
machinery, wear all the protective clothing and
personal safety devices that COULD be
necessary for the job at hand. Don’t
take chances.
You may need:
•
a hard hat.
•
protective shoes with slip resistant soles.
•
protective glasses or goggles.
•
heavy gloves.
•
wet weather gear.
•
respirator or filter mask.
•
hearing protection. Be aware that prolonged
exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing a
suitable hearing protective device such as
ear muffs (A) or ear plugs (B) protects
against objectionable or loud noises.
•
Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be sure the extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its
proper use.
•
Keep young children away from
machinery at all times.
•
Be aware that accidents often happen
when the Operator is tired or in a hurry to
get finished. Take the time to consider
the safest way. Never ignore warning
signs of fatigue.
•
Wear close-fitting clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear dangling items
such as scarves or bracelets.
•
Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away
from moving parts. Never attempt to
clear obstructions or objects from a
machine while the engine is running.
•
Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate
independently of the shaft, and can
telescope freely.
