Potential Hazards in Agriculture

• Grain bins and silos
• Fires and explosions
• Chemicals,

pesticides, herbicides

• Tractors, combines,

and other equipment

• Machinery and other

implements

• Electricity
• Ponds and other open

bodies of waters

• Extreme heat and

humidity

• Material storage

facilities

• Manure pits
• ATVs
• Livestock and other

animals

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Grain Bin and Silo Hazards

• Engulfment - Grain inside a bin can form a crust on top,

that when broken can engulf a person within a matter of seconds

• Fall
• Entanglement/crushing/amputation

from grain handling equipment (e.g. augers, conveyors,)

• Combustible dust

Engulfment Engulfment

Grain Bin and Silo Precautions

• Seek alternatives that eliminate or reduce personnel entry!
• Never enter a grain bin without the proper lifeline support!!
• Prepare an Emergency Plan
• Inform co-workers and maintain an attendant on the
• utside of the bin
• Do not permit children to play in or around grain bins
• Lockout all moving equipment and protect floor openings
• Check atmosphere to ensure sufficient oxygen
• Control potential ignition sources – hot bearing, overhead

motor, misaligned conveyor belt, welding, cutting, and brazing activities.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Fire/Explosion Hazards

• Dry and dusty confined areas
• Flammable and/or combustible chemicals
• Hay storage
• Fueling and fuel storage
• Electrical problems
• Heaters
• Machinery
• Welders and torches

Fire Hazard Precautions

• Remove weeds and brush around buildings
• Arrange shops and barns so that flammables are safely away from ignition

sources.

• Use approved electrical installations in any buildings which are cleaned

periodically with high-pressure equipment.

• Inspect all wiring and electric motors and appliances for exposed wires,

broken insulation, improper grounding and incorrect installations.

• Check the heating system. See that air shafts are clean of dust and

debris, motors are cleaned and oiled (if necessary) each season, and pulley belts are in good working order.

• Check gas and fuel oil system for leaks and unsafe installations.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Fire Hazard Precautions

• Strictly enforce a no smoking rule inside a building or areas where

flammable and combustible materials are stored. Never smoke when refueling.

• When transferring flammable liquids from metal containers, bind the

containers to each other and ground the one being dispersed from to prevent sparks from static electricity.

• Flammable liquids should be clearly marked and stored in approved

containers in well ventilated areas away from heat and sparks. Keep above ground fuel storage tanks at least 40 feet from buildings.

• Store compressed gases in a secure upright

position, away from heat sources in an

• utdoor location.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Fire Hazard Precautions

• Keep flammables at least 35 feet from a hot work area. Be sure
• ther tanks and other containers that have held flammable liquids

are completely naturalized and purged before you do any hot work

• n them
• Always have a fire extinguisher on hand during hot work. Use

portable cutting and welding equipment in clean work areas.

• Avoid storing wet hay and check stored hay for warm spots. If hay

temperature is noticeably warmer than when it was put in, watch it

• closely. If the temperature reaches 175 degrees F, get the hay out
• r divide it into small, shallow stacks.
• Watch for silage danger signs - heat, release of moisture, vapor or

steam, smoke, a charred tobacco smell. A fine chop permits the material to be packed more firmly in both trench and upright silos.

• Re-fuel machinery with care. Watch for and repair leaks in fuel lines,

carburetors, pumps and filters.

Fire Hazards Precautions: Summary

• Ensure dust suppression systems are maintained!!!
• DO:
• Avoid clutter of flammable materials.
• Maintain heating systems.
• Install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in buildings.
• Watch for leaks or deterioration in fuel storage and delivery

equipment.

• DON’T:
• Smoke in areas where flammable materials are stored.
• Re-fuel engines inside buildings or when hot or running.
• Store wet hay

Machinery and Equipment Hazards

• Overturns
• Center of gravity falls outside of its base stability
• Run-over/back-over incidents
• By-passing the ignition switch to start the equipment
• Failure to set the parking brake on a slope or incline
• Falling or jumping from the equipment
• Failing to see by-standers or other workers
• Highway accidents
• Falls from equipment
• Contact with objects

Machinery/Equipment Safety Precautions

• Always read and follow the

machinery/equipment manufacturer’s instructions

• Inspect equipment routinely
• Do not wear loose clothing

around moving parts

• Never reach over or work near

rotating parts

• Turn off machinery before

performing maintenance

• Make sure that guards on farm

equipment are replaced after maintenance.

• Never rely solely upon a

machine’s hydraulic system to keep it suspended

• Never place yourself between

a tractor and implements when hitching

• Never crawl under a machine
• r implement without first

chocking or blocking

• Never allow anyone near a

chain when it is under stress

• Install roll over protection

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Electrical Hazards

• Contact with overhead power lines
• Absence of adequate grounding
• Overloaded circuits
• Damaged or faulty wiring
• Missing safety shields or guards
• Center pivot irrigation systems
• Pond pumps

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Electrical Hazard Precautions

• Overhead Lines
• Assume that all overhead wires are energized at deadly voltages.
• Call the electric utility company to report fallen electrical lines.
• Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from overhead wires during cleanup and other

activities.

• Proper Electrical Installation
• Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized.
• Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before

energizing it

• If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords and equipment to ensure that

they are in good condition and free of defects, and use a groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

• Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.

Chemical Hazards

• Pesticides/herbicides
• Anhydrous ammonia
• Water well contamination
• Fertilizers
• Medicines for livestock and/or other animals

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Chemical Safety Precautions

• Read, understand, and follow Safety Data Sheets
• Wear the appropriate protective equipment
• Clothing (ex. Fire resistant, long sleeves, long pants, etc.)
• Gloves
• Eye protection (ex. Safety glasses, goggles)
• Follow the chemical manufacturer’s

recommendations for mixing and clean-up

• Create an emergency plan
• Know the limitations (equipment, materials, training, and
• ther resources) of any would-be first responders
• Invite emergency responders to the worksite for them to

become familiar with operations
