Safety on the farm during harvest duties
The notice stresses safety for all harvest helpers including casual workers and teens. It urges identifying and correcting hazards, training helpers, teaching hand signals, ensuring clear communication over equipment noise, and warning everyone to keep hands and feet away from engines and intakes.
Family Focus on Farm Safety and Hazards
Guidance urges never unplug an auger with a shovel or stick and to keep children away. Turn off augers and intakes before work, ensure safety shields are in place, and transport in a lowered position with safety locks. Check cables, have first aid kits and fire extinguishers, and take regular breaks to reduce stress.
