TLE 7/8 – AFA (CROP PRODUCTION) ACTIVITY SHEET

Determining Areas of Concern for Safety Measures

I. Learning Competency with Code

After going through this learning activity sheet, you should be able to:
1. Identify work tasks in line with farm operations
2. Determine place for safety measures in line with farm operations
3. Determine time for safety measures in line with farm operations
4. Prepare appropriate tools, materials, and outfits in line with job
requirements

II. Background Information for Learners

Farming is considered as one of the most hazardous and dangerous

occupations in our country. Farmers are exposed to difficult situations and at
very high risk of non-fatal and fatal injuries.
Accident is unpredictable that occurred when least expected to
happen. Among potentially life-threatening farm hazards are farm machinery
and equipment, agricultural chemicals, toxic gases and sharp cutting edges
of farm tools.
As a young agriculturist, always keep in mind that safety is foremost in
doing any job. Safety can be implemented by determining the task to
perform especially those farm tasks that involve health and physical hazard.
Remember, life is precious and body parts are irreplaceable, you are in
control if you want to be intact after accomplishing the hard and tiring tasks
in the farm. Your safety is important, and the key to safety is in your hands,
as it says, “Safety is the engine, and you are the key that starts it”.
