Performance Standard:

II. Background Information for Learners
Farm tools, implements and equipment play very important role in agricultural
crop production. Their availability makes the work easier and faster. However, even
if one may have the most sophisticated tools, implements, but does not know how to
use them, they are useless. In order to do crop production operations successfully,
one must have a good working knowledge of the tools, implements and equipment
before using them.
Hand Tools
Hand tools are usually light and are used without the help of animals
or machines. They are being used in performing farm activities which involve
small areas like school garden and home garden.
Bolo is used for cutting of grasses and
weeds, loosening and pulverizing the soil
Crowbar is used for digging big holes

and for digging out big stones and
stumps.
Pick-mattock is used for digging canals,

breaking hard topsoil and for
digging up stones and tree stumps.
Grab-hoe is used for breaking hard

topsoil and pulverizing soil.
Shovel is used in removing trash,

digging loose soil, moving soil from
one place to another and for mixing
soil media.
Rake is used for cleaning the ground

and levelling the topsoil.
Hand trowel is used for loosening the

soil around the growing plants and
putting small amount of manure in the
soil.
Hand cultivator is used for cultivating

the garden plot by loosening the soil and
removing young weeds around the plant.
Manual handling covers a wide range of activities including: lifting, pushing,
pulling, holding, restraining, throwing and carrying. It includes repetitive task such as
packing, typing, assembling, cleaning and sorting, using hand tools, operating
machinery and equipment, and handling and restraining animals.
Not all manual handling tasks are hazardous, but because most jobs
involve some form of manual handling, most workers are at some risk of manual
handling injury.
Farm safety-manual handling
Farmers and farm workers are commonly affected by muscle and ligament
strains. Lifting a heavy load the wrong way, sudden jolts or even a bad posture over
a period of time can injure soft tissue, particularly the muscle at the back. Good
posture and safe working habits can prevent most injuries. Keep a record of injuries
to pinpoint areas to improve.
Regularly talk with your family and others workers about how to further improve
manual handling practices and reduce any risks.
The following guidelines offer general safety tips for operating tractors:
1. Know your tractor and how to use it safely. Regularly review the safety
precautions in your operator’s manual.
2. Prepare for tractor work by inspecting the vehicle and wearing appropriate
clothing.
3. Ensure that new and inexperienced workers are properly trained in tractor
operation.
4. Never allow riders. A tractor should only have one person on board.
5. Teach children to use tractors only after they have developed the strength,
size, and maturity to operate tractor safely.
6. Install an approved roll-over protective structure (ROPS and seatbelt on any
tractor that is not equipped with these features. ROPS prevent tractor turnover
injuries, but if only the seatbelt is on.
7. Always wear a seatbelt, when driving a tractor equipped with ROPS.
8. Disengage drivers and turn the engines off before leaving the tractor
unattended.
9. Keep yourself and others away from moving parts.
10. Hitch loads only to the drawbar. When using three-point rear hitches, add
front end weights to maintain stability and control steering.
11. Never bypass start the engine.
