• OHS -
Occupational
Health and
Safety.
• PPE – Personal
Protective
Equipment
• Hazard – A
situation that
poses threat to
life, health,
property, or
environment.

Yes! It is not a child’s play. Keep all children away from agricultural
implements at all times.

One way of controlling hazards and risks in the workplace is to observe the
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
Safety is everybody’s concern. It starts with one’s self. A lot of hazards that could be
harmful to the workers are present in the workplace no matter how comfortable and
convenient it looks. But before we can fully understand what safety in the workplace
really means and for us to appreciate it better, we must first be knowledgeable about
hazard in the workplace

 Hazard, Risk and Exposure in the Farm
• Hazard – A situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or
environment. It involves unforeseen incident that is physically unfavourable to
humans or animals. A hazard does not exist when it is not happening.
• Risk – 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 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, fork lifts, cranes, hoists
3. Chemical – includes chemical substances such as acids or poisons and those
that could lead to fire or explosion (e.g. pesticides, 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 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: fire, flood, typhoon, machinery entrapment,
electrical shock, snake or spider bite, chemical exposure, injuries, illness and
accidents.
2. Provide emergency facilities appropriate for the sorts of emergencies that might
occur on the farm (e.g. deluge showers, eye washes, firefighting 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 about the emergency response procedures.
6. Everyone should know the location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers, first aid kits,
how and where to contact emergency services, and where to safely assemble in the
event of an emergency.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - can reduce the number and severity of farm
work related injuries and illnesses.
