Worked Example
 Occupational Safety Measures
in The Farm

Occupational Safety When in the Farm – safety practices set by farm owners that
involves production and work process of farmworkers. Farmers should always take
extra measures to ensure their safety while working in the farm.

Hazards and Risk in the Farm - farmers are exposed to a lot of risk, which can lead
to major accidents or injuries. Risk is the possibility of a hazard to exist. Itmay cause
injury or health problems. It is important that workers are properly trained and
properly guided by the management.
 Occupational Safety Measures
in The Farm
Types of Hazards

Hazard can potentially harm or injure workers. In any workplace, hazard

exists. Over fatigue, improper posture while harvesting the crops, and using
unguarded machineries are some of the common hazards.
Physical Hazard – it includes weak
platform, slippery stairs or floorings,
falling objects, excessively loud music,
prolonged vibration, poor ventilation,
extreme temperatures, and poor air
quality.
 Occupational Safety Measures

Types of Hazards

Mechanical Hazard – is caused

by electrically operated
machineries or devices that can
cause electric shock or
electrocution. Pressure vessels,
tractors, and cranes are all used
in farm operations.
 Occupational Safety Measures
in The Farm
Types of Hazards

Chemical Hazard – are typical of

hazardous chemicals that can cause
fire and explosion that came from
pesticides, cleaning agents, acids, and
poisons. Exposure to certain
chemicals or improper handling and
use of those chemicals, can cause
acute or long-term adverse health
effects.
 Occupational Safety Measures

Types of Hazards

Biological Hazard – includes bacteria, viruses, mold,

mildew, insects, and vermin, among others.
Psychosocial Hazard – is the stresses that farmers
get from work, family, or even among friends.
Ergonomic Hazard - refers to any physical condition
that can be experienced in the workplace due to
incorrect body movement/s that can cause injury or
other health concern that may affect
musculoskeletal system causing aches and sprains
that may appear not too serious at first but may
develop into serious health problem which can
cause permanent damage to the body.
 Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

1. Spraying Chemicals - The use of fertilizers and

pesticides are common in farming. These are used to
control pests, weeds, and mollusks. Spraying is the most
common method of applying chemicals. Farm owners
consult local agriculturist for the appropriate chemicals to
use in their crops.
 Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Here are some important things to remember when using

chemical for the crops:
o Do not attempt to spray if there is a strong wind and its direction
is towards the body of water or a house.
o Never wash the spray equipment with water running down into
open drains or towards a dam or a
o Refrain from using used chemical containers.
 Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

To reduce the risk of hazardous chemicals, do the following:

o Appropriate PPE must be used.
o Store the chemicals in locked cabinets or storage area.
o Know the first aid procedures.
o Provide a list of hazardous chemicals used in the farm.

2. Land Preparation using Heavy Equipment and

Implements – the use of mechanical equipment for land
preparation like tractor might involve risks such as a person
being run over by it. The tractor also has the tendency to
overturn, especially if it is running too fast, or the operator
makes a sharp turn, sudden swerve, or sudden stop.
 Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Here are some things to remember when using heavy farm

implements:
o Do not use a tractor for transportation. It is not a passenger vehicle.
o Use a seatbelt when driving a tractor.
o Use of PPE can save the operator from serious injuries.
 Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

To avoid possible hazard and risks in the farm PPE is advised.

Safety is the physical environmental condition of work which complies with
Occupational Health Safety (OHS) standards and which allows the farmers to
perform their job without or within acceptable exposure to hazards. One of
the basic requirements to maintain these standards is the provision of PPE.
This can reduce the number and severity of farmers related injuries and
illnesses.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Farm Respiratory Protection - Since

farmers use fertilizers and other
chemicals, it is necessary for them to use
respirators to protect themselves from
inhaling mold spores and chemicals.
Respirators must be properly selected,
worn, and maintained to ensure
maximum protection.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Eye Protection - This is used to protect

farmers’ eyes from possible flying
objects, liquid sprays, or other elements
that may enter their eyes. There are
several types of eye protectors like
goggles and glasses with safety shields,
among others.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Foot Protection - A farmers’ feet is one

of the most exposed parts of the body
during work. Wearing appropriate
footwear protects the farmer from
stepping on sharp objects or animal
bites. It can also protect him/her from
slipping.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Hand Protection - Farmers use gloves to

protect their hands from hazardous
elements such as holding chemicals or
removing infested crops. Use disposable
gloves when dealing with infested crops.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Head Protection - Since farmers are

commonly exposed to heat of the sun, it
is important for them to wear a hat. This
is also necessary to protect their head
from slip or fall.
Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for
Farm Work

Body Protection - It comes in many

forms, depending on the job. Farmers
often wear long sleeve clothes and
jeans. This is necessary to protect them
from harmful elements.
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Shock

1. Do not give the victim anything to eat or drink.

2. Lay the victim on his/her back but do not move him/her if there is a neck
or back injury.
3. Make sure that the victim gets adequate air.
4. Keep the victim warm.
5. Raise the victim’s fee and legs with a pillow.
6. If the victim vomits, roll the victim on his/her side and keep the windpipe
clear.
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Bleeding and Wounds

1. Place a clean cloth or gauze over the wound. Apply firm, steady pressure
for at least 5 minutes.
2. Elevate an injured arm or leg above the level of the victim’s heart if
possible.
3. When bleeding stops, secure the cloth with a bandage. Do not lift the
cloth from the wound to check if the bleeding has stopped. Be sure that the
bandage is not too tight.
4. Check the victim for shock.
5. Use torniquets only when you cannot control the bleeding.
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Chemical or Compressed Gas Burns

1. Use a drench hose, emergency shower, or eyewash for at least 15 minutes

to rinse away all traces of chemicals while removing any contaminated
clothing from the victim.
2. Cover the burn loosely with a clean, dry cloth or special burn dressing.
3. Check the victim for shock.
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Heat or Electric Burn

1. Submerge the burned area in cold, clean running water if the skin is not
seriously affected.
2. Avoid applying cream or any form of ointment
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Fainting

1. Ordinarily, fainting victims immediately regain consciousness after. If this

does not happen, the victim should immediately be brought to the
emergency room.
2. For the first aid, the victim should be laid down on their back and allow
plenty of fresh air. Apply cold compress in the forehead and if the victim
vomits, keep the windpipe clear by rolling him to his/her side.
 Basic First Aid during emergency situation
and accidents in the farm

Heat Stroke

1. Heat stroke is life-threatening so this should never be taken for granted.

Flush, hot and dry skin, rapid pulse, very minimal perspiration, and
unconsciousness are signs of heat stroke.
2. You need to bring the victim to a cooler place and lie him/her on the back
with feet up, then loosen clothing and remove footwear. Apply cold
compress or wet towel on the forehead, neck, armpit, and extremities to
cool the victim. Treat the victim for shock or bring the victim to the nearest
hospital.
 Lesson Activity

and can simulate
one emergency situation in the farm and what first aid
response must be
applied.
