I. Introduction (Time Frame: 30 minutes )
The lesson deals with preparing of farm facilities and equipment for storage and the precautions that should be
observed when storing machineries on the farm.

Prepare Farm Facilities and Equipment for Storage

After quite a long time, farming operations finally come to an end. At this time, we have to check the tool, implements
we used and prepare them for storage.
There are numerous precautions that should be observed when storing machinery on the farm. Precautions include:
• Building where machinery and power tools are stored should be located far enough away from structures that house
livestock and hay in case of fire.
• Fuel storage tanks should preferably be located below the ground, and a minimum of 40 feet from nearest structure.
Fuel cannot be stored in the same structure as machinery or power tools.
• Electrical lines coming into the building should be high enough to allow equipment to pass underneath.
• Electrical systems in machine sheds should be sufficient for the power tools and equipment that will require the use of
electric current.
• Electric outlets should be of the three-prong grounded type.
• Machinery storage buildings should not be used to store debris.
• Doors on machine sheds should be wide enough so machinery can safely pass through without getting caught. It
should be easy to pull or slide open doors and close them freely in case of an emergency.
• Exits should be clearly marked.
• Doors should be lockable to keep out children and unwanted visitors.
• Floor surfaces should be level and smooth, free of bumps and protruding rocks.
• Equipment should be parked so there is enough space for a person to walk freely around it.
• Buildings should have adequate ventilation for the starting or running of an engine within the structure. (Note:
engines should not be left running inside a building for a prolonged period of time unless the exhaust is being properly
vented externally).
• All tools and accessory equipment should be kept picked up and stored in their proper place, e.g., air hoses, oil cans,
spare tires, jacks.
• Keys should always be removed from all equipment or machinery to prevent children or unauthorized people from
starting them.
• Do not allow nonemployees inside the machine shed. Children should never be allowed to play around or inside the
machine sheds or on farm machinery itself.

D. Development (Time Frame: 40 minutes)

Directions:
Let us play “Guess What Charades”. You are free to choose any one of the given precautions that should be observed
when storing machineries on the farm. For me to guess what you have chosen you need to draw the ideas about the
precaution without giving any word/s. If I was able to guess your chosen precautions you will be given 5 pts.
E. Engagement (Time Frame: 40 minutes)

Directions:
Let me hear from you, let your word be heard by your writing your insight about the precautions that should be
observed when storing machineries on the farm. Give me your reason/s why or how can I be benefited if I follow any of the
given precautions. (10pts)
A. Assimilation (Time Frame: 30 minutes)

Directions:
Even in your own house machineries or powered tools can be found (ex. Refrigerator, flatiron, television, radio etc.)
Share your practices or precaution/s in storing your machineries or powered tools. (10pts)
