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:
o
a hard hat.
o
protective shoes with slip
resistant soles.
o
protective glasses or goggles.
o
heavy gloves.
o
wet weather gear.
o
respirator or filter mask.
o
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.
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.
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.
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.
