Always exclude children from potentially dangerous areas (they will often get
into apparently inaccessible places). Do not allow them in farm yards on busy
days. Contractors should always be made aware of the presence of children.
Never leave children alone in a tractor cab as they can interfere with controls
and many children have been killed falling from the door or rear window of a
tractor.
Children under 16 years of age should never operate power-driven
machinery. Keys should be removed from vehicles and controls left in neutral.
Do not allow children to use bales of any description for playing. It is very easy
to fall from stacked bales resulting in serious injury, or fall between them
leading to suffocation. Make sure there is no evidence of children burrowing
under stacked bales.
Children under 16 should never handle chemicals. Always keep them in their
correct containers and securely stored out of sight under lock and key.
Keep matches in a safe place.
Danger of lightning strike
If there is a risk of lightning in the area, stop all work.
If there is a risk of lightning when travelling, find a safe place to pull over and
stop the tractor.
Do not leave the tractor cab or start work until the risk of lightning has passed.
