Definition of terms;
1. Safety-the physical or environmental conditions of work which comply
with prescribed Occupational Health safety (OHS)-standards and which
allow the workers to perform his/her job without or within acceptable
exposure to hazards.
2. Exposure- The state of being exposed to contact with something
3. Occupational safety-the practices related to production and work
process.
4. Risks-is the possibility of something bad happening.
5. Warehouse-A large plan building used for storing goods
6. Farm Implements-accessories pulled by animals or mounted to
machineries to make the work easier.
7. Equipment- powered tool machine used in farming.
8. Health-a sound state of the body and mind of the workers that enable
him or her to perform the job normal
9. Operators Manual-is an instructional book or booklet that is supplied
with almost all technologically advanced consumer products in handling
and storing materials involve diverse operations.
Handling and storing materials involve diverse operations such as hoisting
tons of steel with a crane; driving a truck loaded with concrete blocks;
carrying bags or materials manually; and stacking palletized bricks or other
materials such as drums, barrels, kegs, and lumber.
Storage equipment is used to hold or buffer materials during “downtimes,” or
times when they are not being transported. These periods could refer to
temporary pauses during long-term transportation or long-term storage
designed to allow the buildup of stock.
Examples of storage and handling equipment include:
• Racks, such as pallet racks, drive-through or drive-in racks, push-back
racks, and sliding racks, are a basic but important method of storage, saving
floor space while keeping their contents accessible.

2
• Stacking frames are stackable like blocks, as their name implies. They
allow crushable pallets of inventory, such as containers of liquid, to be
stacked to save space without damage.
• Shelves, bins, and drawers. Shelves, another basic storage method, are
less open than racks. Used with bins and drawers, they’re more able to keep
smaller and more difficult to manage materials and products stored and
organized.

• Mezzanines, a type of indoor platform, help to create more floor space in

a warehouse or other storage building for offices or more storage.

Industrial Material Handling Trucks

Industrial trucks (material handling trucks) refer to the different kinds of

transportation items and vehicles used to move materials and products in
materials handling. These transportation devices can include small hand-
operated trucks, pallet jacks, and various kinds of forklifts.

3
There are many types of industrial trucks:
• Hand trucks, one of the most basic pieces of material handling equipment,
feature a small platform to set the edge of a heavy object on, and a long
handle to use for leverage.
• Pallet Trucks, also known as pallet jacks, are a type of truck specifically for
pallets. They slide into a pallet and lift it up to move it. Pallet trucks come
in both manual and electrical types.
• Platform trucks are hand trucks low to the ground, with a wide platform
for transporting goods.
• Order pickers lift the operator several feet above the ground on a platform
so they can retrieve or store goods on high shelves.
• Side loaders also known as VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) trucks, are meant to
fit in narrow warehouse aisles, as they can load objects from different
directions. They’re also good for long, awkward products that need moving.

Bulk Material Handling Equipment

Bulk material handling refers to the storing, transportation and control of
materials in loose bulk form. These materials can include food, liquid, or
minerals, among others.
• Conveyors, as mentioned above, come in a wide variety of types for
different types of bulk material.
• Stackers, which are usually automated, pile bulk material onto stockpiles,
moving between two points along rails in a yard.
• Bucket elevators, also known as grain legs, use buckets attached to a
rotating chain or belt to carry material vertically.
• Grain elevators are tall buildings specifically for storing grain. They
include equipment to convey the grain to the top of the elevator, where it is
sent out for processing.

4
 • Hoppers are funnel-shaped containers that allow material to be poured or
dumped from one container to another. Unlike a funnel, though, hoppers
can hold material until it’s needed, then release it.
• Silos are generally large storage structures for bulk materials, though they
don’t necessarily include equipment to convey the material to the top of the
structure like grain elevators. Different varieties include tower, bunker, and
bag silos.

What are the potential hazards for workers?

Workers frequently cite the weight and bulkiness of objects that
they lift as major contributing factors to their injuries. Other hazards
include falling objects, improperly stacked materials, and various
types of equipment. You should make your employees aware of
potential injuries that can occur when manually moving materials,
including the following:

5
 • Strains and sprains from lifting loads improperly or from carrying
loads that are either too large or too heavy,
• Fractures and bruises caused by being struck by materials or by
being caught in pinch points, and
• Cuts and bruises caused by falling materials that have been
improperly stored or by incorrectly cutting ties or other securing
devices.

What precautions should workers take when moving materials

manually?
When moving materials manually, workers should attach handles or
holders to loads. In addition, workers should always wear appropriate
personal protective equipment and use proper lifting techniques. To
prevent injury from oversize loads, workers should seek help in the
following:
• When a load is so bulky that employees cannot properly grasp or
lift it,
• When employees cannot see around or over a load, or
• When employees cannot safely handle a load.

https://www.amusingplanet.com/2013/02/overloaded
herd_IV_loading_oil_drums_at_Grutness_Harbour.jpg handling-safety/
-vehicles-in-china.html

Using the following personal protective equipment prevents needless injuries

when manually moving materials:

6
 •Hand and forearm protection, such as gloves, for loads with sharp
or rough edges.
• Eye protection, Steel-toed safety shoes or boots.
• Metal, fiber, or plastic metatarsal guards to protect the instep area
from impact or compression.
Although workers may be knowledgeable about powered equipment, they
should take precautions when stacking and storing material. When picking
up items with a powered industrial truck, workers must do the following:

• Center the load on the forks as close to the mast as possible to minimize
the potential for the truck tipping or the load falling,
• Avoid overloading a lift truck because it impairs control and causes tipping
over,
• Do not place extra weight on the rear of a counterbalanced forklift to allow
an overload,
• Adjust the load to the lowest position when traveling,
• Follow the truck manufacturer's operational requirements, and
• Pile and cross-tier all stacked loads correctly when possible.

Operating a Tractor
• Drive at speeds slow enough to retain control over unexpected events.
• Reduce speed before turning or applying brakes.
• Watch out for ditches, logs, rocks, depressions and embankments.
• On steep slopes, without a trailed implement, reverse up for greater safety.
• Engage the clutch gently at all times, especially when going uphill or
towing.
• Descend slopes cautiously in low gear, using the motor as a brake.
• Never mount or dismount from a moving tractor.
• Ensure the park brake is on and operating effectively before dismounting.
• Take short breaks regularly when working long hours.

To avoid strain injury

• Adjust the tractor seat for back support and comfort.
• When buying a tractor, ensure seating is safe and comfortable.
• Check seat height, seat depth, backrest height and angle, fore and
aft movement, seat tilt, firm padding, partial pivoting (if you have

7
 to spend long periods looking behind you), and vibration-
absorbing suspension.
• Dismount every hour or so, and spend 5 or 10 minutes doing
something active.
Tillage Equipment

A. Moldboard Plows
1. Provide adequate front-end weight for tractor stability in transport
and operation, particularly with integral and semi-integral plows.
Never pull from any point higher on the tractor than the
recommended hitch point.
2. Use extreme caution and reduce speed when transporting the plow
and the tractor over rough ground.
3. Always use proper lighting, reflectors, slow moving vehicle (SMV)
emblem, and other safety devices for road travel as required by state
and local laws. (See appendix for more information on SMV
emblems).
B. Disk Plows
1. Integral plows are transported completely raised, and all weight is
carried by the tractor 3-point hitch. Adequate tractor front-end
weights are required to offset the plow weight.
2. Reduce speed when transporting over rough ground, and avoid
quick, sharp turns at high speeds.
3. Lower the plow to the ground or install hydraulic cylinder locks
when the plow is not in use.
4. Watch for other people when raising, lowering, or indexing the plow.
5. Never permit anyone to ride on the plow, and allow only the driver
on the tractor.
C. Disk Harrows and Offset Disks
1. Always lock safety lock during transport, if the disk is to be left
raised for an extended period, or while working on the machine.
2. Never depend on tractor hydraulic pressure to carry harrow weight
in transport--use safety lock, and relieve pressure in cylinders.
3. Lower integral harrows to ground each time tractor engine is shut
off, and any time harrow is being serviced or repaired. If it must be
raised for repairs, securely block the frame to prevent accidental
lowering.
4. Always use lights, reflectors, and SMV emblem when transporting,
day or night.
5. Lock the tractor drawbar in fixed position when transporting
wheeled disks.
D. Field Cultivators
1. Never exceed recommended transport speed for the cultivator used.
If speed is not stated, do not exceed maximum tractor speed.
2. Reduce speed for turning and travel over rough or uneven ground.
3. Use transport locks and relieve pressure in cylinders when
transporting field cultivators. Do not depend on hydraulic pressure
to carry the weight. Always lock wings in transport position and
relieve pressure in cylinders.

8
 4. Never walk or work under wings when they are in the folded position.
5. Follow state and local regulations regarding lights, reflectors, SMV
emblem, and maximum width when transporting on roads or
highways.
E. Packers
1. Always use reflectors, lights, and SMV emblem as required when
transporting equipment--day or night.
2. Provide adequate front-end weight for tractor stability in operation
and transport of integral harrows. Use maximum allowable front
ballast if operating integral harrows in lower gears.
3. Never exceed normal tractor speed when transporting drawn roller
harrows, and drive considerably slower than that on rough or
uneven ground.
4. Do not transport roller packers over hard-surfaced roads--use
carriers.
5. Never permit anyone but the driver to ride on the tractor.

Dangers of Agricultural Machinery

Farm machinery uses power to do work. This creates many possible
hazards for both operators and bystanders. Even though manufacturers take
many steps to make machinery safe, all hazards cannot be removed. Minor
and serious injuries can occur when workers are not paying close attention,
taking shortcuts, ignoring warnings or failing to follow safety rules. The wide
variety of warning, caution and instructional decals placed on machinery are
there for your safety.
There are many different types of farm machinery, but they all have
similar characteristics and hazards. Not all these hazards can be completely
shielded, so farmers must use caution when operating them.

9
SHEAR POINTS
 Shear points exist when the edges of two objects move toward or next to
each other closely enough to cut relatively soft material.
 Cutting points happen when a single object moves forcefully or rapidly
enough to cut. They can be found on many types of crop cutting
equipment, such as forage harvester heads and sickle bars, and grain
augers.
 Shear and cutting points are hazards because of their cutting force. They
often move so rapidly that they may not be visible, so it is easy to forget
that they are there.

PINCH POINTS
• Pinch points exist when two objects move together, with at least one of
them moving in a circle. They are common in power transmission devices,
such as belt and chain drives, feed rolls and gear drives.

WRAP POINTS
• Any exposed, rotating machine component is a potential wrap point.
Protruding shaft ends can also become wrap points. A cuff, sleeve, pant
leg or just a thread can catch on a rotating part and result in serious
injury.

CRUSH POINTS
• Crush points exist when two objects move toward each other, or when one
object moves toward a stationary object. Hitching tractors to implements
may create a potential crush point. Failure to block up equipment safely
can result in a fatal crushing injury.

FREE-WHEELING PARTS
• The heavier a revolving part, the longer it will continue to rotate after power
is shut off. Rotary mower blades, baler flywheels and various other farm
machinery components will continue to move after power stops. Workers
must allow time for these wheels or blades to stop before approaching
them.

PULL-IN POINTS
• Pull-in points usually occur when someone tries to remove plant material
or other obstacles that have become stuck in feed rolls or other machinery
parts. Always shut off the power before attempting to clear plugged
equipment.

SPRINGS
• Springs are commonly used to help lift equipment, such as shock
absorbers, and to keep belts tight. Springs may harbor potentially
dangerous stored energy. Know what direction a spring will move and how
it might affect another machine part when released, and stay out of its
path.

10
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
• Hydraulic systems store considerable energy. They lift implements, such
as plows, change the position of implement components, such as a
combine header or bulldozer blade, operate hydraulic motors and assist in
steering and braking.

HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TRACTOR ACCIDENTS

There are numerous human factors involved in fatal tractor-related
accidents. Certain factors like poor judgment, poor attitude, insufficient
knowledge or training, fatigue, haste, stress, depression, intoxication,
or showing off can cause a fatal tractor overturn accident.
Each operator should be physically and mentally fit when operating a
tractor. An operator who is sleepy, tired or not feeling well may not be
able to react in time to avoid an accident.
Be Properly Trained
A person who does not know how to operate a tractor safely in potentially
hazardous situations can be injured or killed by exercising poor
judgment.

Be Familiar with Operator's Manual

Read and follow procedures as outlined in the operator's manual. By being
familiar with the operating features of a tractor, the operator will
develop confidence when the tractor is driven under adverse conditions.

11
 A copy of all Operating Manuals and other relevant safety materials
should be kept on file for quick reference.

Special danger areas

Remember that any agricultural machine
below represents potential anger.
1. Rice mill-rotating/moving mechanisms
2. Thresher-all rotating mechanisms
3. Combine harvester – grain tank.
under power like the one given
4. Tractor – hitch mechanism, shaft
5.Mounted equipment – underneath
6. Hand Tractor- rotating pulley

HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES
During the maintenance of agricultural machinery, there are many activities
which are potentially hazardous. Here are some of them:

Lubricating
• If you need to remove the guard to lubricate the machine, never
lubricate while the machine is in motion.

12
Checking hydraulic systems
• Remember that hydraulic oil is under high pressure. The external signs
of oil injection may be slight, but the internal damage is not and may
lead to surgery or amputation.
• If checking for leaks, use something (eg. a piece of card run along the
hose) to show where the leak is. Do not use your hands.
• Release the pressure before working on the system

Sharpening
• When working on, for example a forage harvester, only the actual
sharpening should take place with the machine in motion. All activity
before and after (eg. guard removal) should be done with the machine
stationary – even if rundown takes a long time.
• Beware of flying particles when sharpening machinery. Use protective
equipment such as goggles.

Working under machines

• When working under raised machines, jacks should be used and
correctly located, and additional support (eg axle stands) provided.
• When working on hydraulically-raised equipment (eg. trailers) use
props. Never rely just on the hydraulics.

Hammering
• Beware of flying particles. Always use the appropriate personal
protective equipment. It offers protection not only against flying
particles, but also many other risks.

Cleaning
• Be aware of the danger of falling off or into machinery, particularly in
wet or muddy conditions. Make sure you know how to access machines
safely –especially large machines such as combines.
• Don‘t clean with machines running and guards removed.

Let us Reflect

Farm tools, Equipment’s and machineries should be of high regard to

every gardeners /farm operator. Each of these farm tools and equipment have
their own specific use and function. Use this properly with utmost care. Refer
to the operator’s manual or the enterprise guidelines regarding the specific
instruction for basic care of the equipment.
Now a day’s prices of these command a high price. Take extra care and give
value of whatever tools, equipment’s and machineries you have acquired now.
Happy Farming everyone!!!
