Morton Fraser Skip to main content Home About us ... Media/Press Search: Our People Services Sectors Publications ... Podcasts Posted: Thursday 25 February 2010 According to the Health and Safety Executive, around 400,000 people worked in agriculture (less than 1.5% of the working population) in May 2009, yet agriculture has one of the highest fatal accident rates of any industry in the UK. This article will focus briefly on two topical areas; namely, working at height in agriculture and forestry and how farm diversification has resulted in some new health and safety prosecutions. Working at Height Deaths recorded in agriculture from falls through roofs has been a priority area for the Healthy and Safety Executive since 2000. The crucial piece of legislation here is the Work at Height Regulations 2005. This applies to work that creates both the risk of people falling from height and of objects falling on to people below. Prosecutions under the Work at Height regulations 2005 have not just been limited to accidents in and around farm buildings and farm steadings; prosecutions have occurred in relation to forestry and tree surgeons. In a recent Scottish case the employers, who were a firm of tree surgeons, were successfully prosecuted after an accident caused by the injured person cutting through a rope whilst he was cutting down a tree. With a high accident rate to tackle and a keen HSE focus on the industry it is critical that employers in agriculture ensure that all work at height is properly risk assessed to ensure that measures are taken to reduce the risk of falls, to prevent objects falling from the work site and to identify fragile surfaces where further precautions will be needed.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Operating a Tractor - Topic 1 Tractors are the main cause of accidental deaths on farms. Over the years, many farmers, farm workers and others living on or visiting farms, have been killed or seriously injured falling from moving tractors, being run over by tractors, or being crushed when a tractor rolls sideways or backwards. Spot the hazard Regularly check for hazards relating to tractors, attached implements and field conditions. Hazard areas could include mechanical parts, operator training, other people, work procedures, unsafe jacking, climatic conditions, chemicals used, uneven terrain, and any other potential causes of an injury or a hazardous incident. Keep a record to ensure identified hazards are assessed and controlled. Assess the risk Once a potential hazard has been identified, assess the likelihood of an injury or hazardous incident occurring. For example, risk to children playing near a tractor will vary, depending on what the tractor operator is doing, how close they are to the tractor and whether the operator knows they are there. Consider ways of minimising risk. Make the changes Here are some ways of improving tractor operator safety: Read and follow safety procedures in the manufacturer's manual.

The project, which is sponsored by DARD, aims to investigate the costs to farmers and their families caused by farm accidents, with particular consideration given to accidents involving children. The agricultural industry is a major source of occupational injury in Northern Ireland, with 930 injuries and 5 fatalities reported in 2001. As the farm is usually the place of residence, a significant proportion of these accidents involve children.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Electricity - Topic 20 The best safeguard against electrocution on farms is the residual current device (RCD) or safety switch. A fixed RCD can be installed instead of a fusebox in your house, shed or workshop, or portable RCDs can be used with individual power tools. Spot the hazard Check to ensure electrical fittings, fixtures, plant and equipment, wiring, insulation, switches, power cords, plugs, earth wires, guarding, and welding equipment are in good condition and regularly maintained. Look for shorting or sparking fittings. Avoid using electrical equipment in wet conditions. Wear safe footwear and clothing. For work on wires, plugs, switches, fuses and electrical plant, call the electrician. Assess the risk Assess each identified hazard for likelihood and severity of possible injury or harm. If there is any risk of electric shock or electrocution, you should have a safe procedures to ensure the hazardous plant is put out of use and either isolated, or kept in a safe place until repaired or discarded. Make the changes The following suggestions will help to minimise or eliminate the risk of electric shock.

SAFETY ON THE FARM Silos - Topic 11 Whenever anyone installs, climbs, enters, fumigates, fills or empties a silo, significant risks may be involved. Hazards can include insufficient oxygen, toxic gas, explosive atmospheres, unguarded machinery, electricity, grain trapping, silos collapsing, and falls from heights. There are also significant risks for unsupervised children. Spot the hazard Keeping in mind potential hazard areas, conduct a safety audit of your silo and grain storage system. Include machinery used in and around silos, especially grain augers, which can trap limbs and clothing unless adequately guarded, and are prone to tipping unless erected and transported safely. Look closely at any part of the system that could injure or harm people on the farm, especially children. Check silo ladders, both external and internal, edge protection, and safe procedures for fumigation, dislodging bridged grain, and rescuing somebody trapped inside. Assess the risk Check whether identified hazards present risk of serious injury, and consider ways risks can be minimised. Make the changes To help farmers make the necessary safety changes, here are some suggestions:

Food Safety on the Farm series Renee Goodrich Schneider, Keith R. Schneider, and Douglas L. Archer Introduction Good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good handling practices (GHPs) encompass the general procedures that producers and packers of fresh fruits and vegetables should follow to ensure the food safety of their product. GAPs usually deal with preharvest practices (i.e., in the field), while GHPs cover postharvest practices, including packing and shipping. We will use the term GAPs to generally cover pre- and postharvest practices associated with the safe handling of produce, both fresh and minimally processed. This factsheet is intended to review the generally recognized principles of GAPs as they relate to produce, primarily at the farm level. Subsequent Florida Cooperative Extension factsheets under preparation will cover the individual principles in detail, with particular focus on fresh Florida crops and practices. Are GAPs Required?
