Processing Questions: 1. What was the video all about? 2. Why do we need to identify hazards and risks in the farm?
Hazard, Risk, and Exposure in the Farm
LEARNING OBJECTIVEs : Classify the different types of hazards in the farm. Enumerate ways of keeping oneself safe from the hazards in the farm. Explain the importance of adhering to safety measures while working in the farm.
DEFINITION OF TERMS : Hazard – is the potential for harm, or anything which may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace. Risk – is the likelihood that a hazard will cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace.
ACTIVITY Classifying hazards in the farm
Activity process
Great job!!!
Processing Questions: 1. How did you find the activity? 2. Why is it necessary to carefully identify the hazards in the farm? 3. What are the things that we should do in order to be safe while working in the farm?
Agricultural crop production deals with a lot of activities to be done in the different workplace. While performing these activities we expose ourselves to a lot of risk.
Hazard – is the potential for harm, or anything which may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace. Risk – is the likelihood that a hazard will cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace. Exposure – occurs when a person comes into contact with a hazard.
TYPES OF HAZARDS 1. Physical – includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire, falling objects, slippery surfaces, manual handling, excessively loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold, radiation, poor lighting, ventilation, air quality.
3. Chemical – includes chemical substances such as acids or poisons and those that could lead to fire or explosion, like pesticides, herbicides, cleaning agents, dusts and fumes from various processes such as welding.
4. Biological – includes bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, insects, vermin, animals. 5. Psychosocial environment – includes workplace stressors arising from a variety of sources.
Farm emergency procedures regarding safety working environment: 1. Identify the potential emergencies . 2. Provide emergency facilities appropriate for the sorts of emergencies that might occur on the farm.
3. Make sure that the correct equipment is available to contain and handle any chemical or other dangerous materials spills that might happen. 4. People need to know and understand the emergency procedures and their responsibilities.
5. Instruct everyone working on the farm in the emergency response procedures. 6. Everyone should know the location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers and first aid kits; how and where to contact emergency services; and where to safely assemble in the event of an emergency.
GROUP ACTIVITY
Each group will write three (3) ways of keeping oneself safe while working in the farm. After the given time, call each group to publish their output in a creative way.
Let’s Answer!!!
1. Machinery and equipment are examples of physical hazards. 2. Viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew and animals are examples of biological hazards. 3. The level of risk increases with the severity of the hazard. 4. Farmers should always apply appropriate safety measures while working in the farm. 5. Mechanical hazard includes workplace stressors arising from a variety of sources.
6. Biological hazards include cleaning agents, dusts, and fumes from various processes. 7. Risk is anything that may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace. 8. Exposure is the likelihood that a hazard will cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace.
Agreement: In your notebook, list down two (2) farm works that involve using chemicals and hazardous tools and equipment.
