3.4 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.
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.
