7. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can reduce the number and severity of farm work related injuries and illnesses. Personal protective equipment not only helps protect people but also improves productivity and profits. Farmers and ranchers can share in these benefits by using the appropriate protective equipment for themselves, family members and employees when the job and its potential hazards call for it.

8. What’s In

9. What’s New 1. Have you seen workers working on construction site or any related work? 2. What have you observed what they’re wearing? 3. Have you asked yourself the purpose of those clothing/paraphernalia?

10. Personal Protective Equipment 1. Personal Hard Hat- Protects your head with a hard hat when performing construction work, trimming trees, repairing machinery and doing other jobs with head injury risks. Use a sun safety hat (one with a wide brim and neck protection) to assist in the prevention of skin cancer.

11. Personal Protective Equipment 2. Goggles- Protects your vision with appropriate safety eyewear (safety glasses, goggles, face-shields) when applying pesticides, fertilizers, working in the shop or in heavy dust conditions.

12. Personal Protective Equipment 3. Earmuffs- Protects your hearing with acoustic earmuffs or plugs when operating noisy equipment such as grain dryers, feed grinders, older tractors, chain saws etc.

13. Personal Protective Equipment 4. Dust Mask- Protect your lungs with the correct respiratory equipment (dust mask, cartridge respirators, gas masks, air packs) when working in dusty or moldy conditions, spray painting, applying chemicals, working in bins, tanks, silos and manure storage places.

14. FARM WORKS THAT INVOLVE USING OF CHEMICALS AND HAZARDOUS TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT 1. Spraying Chemicals- Many different chemicals are used on the farm including pesticides. These chemicals are used to fertilize and control pests such as insects, weeds, mollusk, etc. Most of these chemicals are applied by spraying.

15. FARM WORKS THAT INVOLVE USING OF CHEMICALS AND HAZARDOUS TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT Examples of chemical hazards: Spraying in a strong wind and the spray drifting over a dam or the farm house. Washing spray equipment and the water running into open drains, collecting in puddles, or running into stockyards or dams. Containers or chemicals left lying around. Empty containers lying in a heap.

16. Some ways you can reduce the risk of hazards from chemicals are: Use personal protective equipment such as respirators, waterproof clothes, rubber gloves and waterproof footwear. • Make sure chemicals are safely stored and cupboards locked. • Never spray chemicals on days when there is a high wind. • Know first aid procedures. • Keep a list of all hazardous substances on the farm.

17. Safe use of chemicals Consider if a chemical substance is really needed. • Eliminate a hazardous substance, or if that is not possible, substitute it with less hazardous one. • Safe work practices or personal protective equipment should be used. • Keep records of farm chemicals.

18. FARM WORKS THAT INVOLVE USING OF CHEMICALS AND HAZARDOUS TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT 2. Land Preparation Using Tractor a. Victims fall off or are thrown from the tractor b. Run over by either the tractor or an implement being towed, or both. c. Overturn

Discuss with family members and farm workers the potential risks of riding tractor. It is also helpful to post 'no riders' decals on all tractors to remind others about the policy. Use or provide other vehicles that allow passengers, such as trucks or cars, when transportation is needed to fields or remote work
