Information Sheet No. 2
Subject: Agri-crop Exploratory
Grade: 7/8 – Quarter 1 – Lesson 5– Applying safety measures in farm
operations

The lesson deals with the study of hazards in the workplace in line with
farm guidelines.

What will you learn?


After reading this information sheet, you will be able to:
a. learn the farm works that involve chemicals and hazardous tools
and equipment

FARM WORKS THAT INVOLVE USING CHEMICALS AND HAZARDOUS


TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
1. Spraying Chemicals
Many different chemicals are used on a farm including pesticides. These
chemicals are used to fertilize and control pests such as insects, weeds,
mollusk, etc. Most of these chemicals are applied by spraying

Examples of chemical hazards:


 Spraying in a strong wind and the spray drifting over a dam or the farm
house.
 Washing spray equipment and the water running into open drains,
collecting in puddles, or running into stockyards or dams.
 Containers or chemicals left lying around. Empty containers lying in a
heap.

Some ways you can reduce the risk of hazards from chemicals are:
 Use personal protective equipment such as respirators, waterproof clothes,
rubber gloves and waterproof footwear.
 Make sure chemicals are safely stored and cupboards locked.
 Never spray chemicals on days when there is a high wind.
 Know first aid procedures.
 Keep a list of all hazardous substances used on the farm.

Safe use of chemicals


 Consider if a chemical substance is really needed.
 Eliminate a hazardous substance, or if that is not possible, substitute it
with less hazardous one.
 Safe work practices or personal protective equipment should be used
 Keep records of farm chemicals.
2. Land Preparation Using Tractor
a. Victims fall off or are thrown from the tractor
b. Run over by either the tractor or an implement being towed, or both.
c. Overturn

Safety Reminders
 Tractors are not passenger vehicles.
 Use seat belts when driving tractors.
 ROPS will protect the operator from serious injuries. Causes of run over
accidents
 Sudden stops
 Driving over holes, stumps and debris, or a sharp turn How to prevent run
over
 Never allow riders on tractors.
 Discuss with family members and farm workers the potential risks of
riding tractor.
 It's also helpful to post 'no riders' decals on all tractors to remind others
about the policy.  Use or provide other vehicles that allow passengers, such
as trucks or cars, when transportation is needed to fields or remote work
sites.

Information Sheet No. 3
Subject: Animal Production Exploratory
Grade: 7/8 – Quarter 1 – Lesson 6– Collect farm wastes

The lesson deals with the study tools and materials for collection of farm
waste.
What will you learn?
After reading this information sheet, you will be able to:
a. learn what are the personal protective equipment and respiratory
protective equipment to be used in collecting wastes in the farm.

The law requires that personal protective equipment be provided for


use at work and must meet an appropriate standard and must be CE
marked.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes the following:


*coveralls *gloves
*eye protection *hearing protection
*footwear
Respiratory protective equipment (RPE)
*safety helmets
*wet weather clothing
Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) Suitable RPE can be used to provide
protection against two broad types of substance:
 dusts *micro-organisms (bio aerosols)
 mists *gases and vapours
 fumes

Information Sheet No. 4
Subject: Animal Production Exploratory
Grade: 7/8 – Quarter 1 – Lesson 6– Collect farm wastes

The lesson deals with collecting waste following OSH and waste collection
requirements and plan.
What will you learn?
After reading this information sheet, you will be able to
a. learn farm waste management plan and farm waste location plan
Farm Waste Management Farm waste management covers the responsible
storage , collection and disposal of all farm waste and the preparation and
implementation of a farm waste management plan.
The Farm Waste Management Plan
The Farm Waste Management Plan must take into account the collection,
storage and disposal of all farm wastes. Implementation of the plan will
reduce the risk of pollution and prevent the loss of valuable nutrients in
slurry and farmyard manure.
The plan consists of two parts:
 Part 1 – a completed Farm Waste Checklist for the farm.
The purpose of the checklist is to identify remedial works and changes in
management practice that are required to ensure a high standard of farm
waste management.
 Part 2 – a completed Farm Waste Location Plan.
This plan is a copy of your farm map showing areas of the farm that are
suitable and unsuitable for spreading agricultural wastes.

Farm Waste Checklist with identified remedial works/changes in


management practice
This is a record of the condition of farm waste facilities and management
practices as observed at the date of completion. Completion of the checklist
will enable you to audit your farmyard and farm to ensure that farm waste
management standards, including disposal of manures, silage effluent,
waste plastics, fallen animals and veterinary wastes are managed to a
standard beyond current legislation and Good Farming Practice. The
checklist must be continually kept under review and updated annually.
Keep the whole farm free of rubbish, litter and anything that would detract
from the appearance of the countryside.
Farm Waste Location Plan
A farm waste location plan is a copy of your farm map color coded as
follows:

 BLUE – waterways including any on the farm boundary.


 RED – areas where organic wastes should never be applied.
 ORANGE – areas from which there is a high risk of pollution occurring
(may be part or whole fields). Farm wastes may be applied to these areas at
certain times of the year, but before spreading always ensures that there is
no risk of pollution occurring.
 GREEN – all remaining areas. These can be used for spreading at any time
of the year when land and weather conditions are suitable.
 WHITE – areas not normally used for spreading organic wastes and mark
them with an X.
