This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
manage and identify the different safety measures in line with farm guidelines
(TVL_AFAAPPC9-12ASMF-If-14). The scope of this module allows you to use it in
many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

This module is composed of one lesson :

Lesson 1 - Apply safety measures in line with farm guidelines

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Identify the hazard, risk, and exposure, and type of hazard
2. Determine the potential farm emergency procedures regarding
safety environment
3. Discuss the factors may increase risk of injury or illness for farm
workers

Apply Appropriate Safety
Measures in Line With
1 Farm Guidelines

Lesson Overview
Lesson Overview

Many hazards are present in the farm. If the farmers are not aware of these
hazards these may cause injury to their body or may cause diseases and even
death. Farmer should always apply appropriate safety measures while working in the
farm. In this lesson the students with the guidance and supervision of their teacher
should identify the types of hazards, the potential farm emergency procedures
regarding safety working environment and factors increase risk injury or illness for
farm workers.

Activity 1 would allow you to learn about applying safety measures in line with
farm guidelines.

HAZARD, RISK AND EXPOSURE IN THE FARM

Agricultural crop production deal with a lot of activities to be done in the

different workplace. While performing these activities we expose ourselves to a lot of
risk. Workplace hazard is a major cause of accident, injury, or harm to a worker who
performs such task. These hazards should be the major concern of all who are
involved in a certain job or work.

It is important to distinguish hazard, risk and exposure when undertaking

risk management.

Hazard the potential for harm, or adverse effect on an employee‘s health.

Anything which may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace
is a hazard.

Risk is the likelihood that is a hazard will cause injury or ill health to anyone at
or near a workplace. The level of risk increases with the severity of the hazard
and the duration and frequency of exposure.

Exposure occurs when a person comes into contact with a hazard.

8
TYPES OF HAZARD

1. Physical - includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire, falling
objects, slippery surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing, pulling),
excessively loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold, radiation,
poor lighting, ventilation, air quality.

2. Mechanical and/ or electrical - includes electricity, machinery,

equipment, pressure vessels, dangerous goods, forklifts, cranes, hoists

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. The emergencies that may occur on a
crop production farm could include:
a. Fire
b. Flood
c. Typhoon
d. machinery entrapment
e. electric shock
f. snake or spider bite
g. chemical exposure
h. injuries
i. illness and
j. accidents
9
2. Provide emergency facilities appropriate for the sorts of emergencies that might
occur on the farm (e.g. deluge showers, eye washes, fire fighting equipment, first
aid kits).

3. Make sure that the correct equipment is available to contain and handle any
chemical or other dangerous materials spills that might happen.

4. To help minimize the risk of personal injury or property damage in the event of an
emergency, people working on and visiting the farm 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.

FACTORS MAY INCREASE RISK INJURY OR ILLNESS OF FARM WORKERS

.
1. Age – Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and
adults over 65.

2. Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve

machinery. Proper machine guarding and doing equipment maintenance
according to manufacturers
