Farm SafetyContrary to the popular image of fresh air and peaceful surroundings, a farm isnot a hazard-free work setting. Every year, thousands of farm workers are injuredand hundreds more die in farming accidents. According to the National SafetyCouncil, agriculture is the most hazardous industry in the nation.How You Can Improve Farm SafetyYou can start by increasing your awareness of farming hazards and making a conscious effort to prepare for emergencysituations including fires, vehicle accidents, electrical shocks from equipment and wires, and chemical exposures. Beespecially alert to hazards that may affect children and the elderly. Minimize hazards by carefully selecting the productsyou buy to ensure that you provide good tools and equipment. Always use seat belts when operating tractors, andestablish and maintain good housekeeping practices. Here are some other steps you can take to reduce illnesses andinjuries on the farm: Read and follow instructions in equipment operator’s manuals and on product labels. Inspect equipment routinely for problems that may cause accidents. Discuss safety hazards and emergency procedures with your workers. Install approved rollover protective structures, protective enclosures, or protective frames on tractors. Make sure that guards on farm equipment are replaced after maintenance. Review and follow instructions in material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and on labels that come with chemical productsand communicate information on these hazards to your workers.Health and Safety Hazards on FarmsFarm workers including farm families and migrant workers are exposed to hazards such as the icityPotential Effect or InjurySkin and respiratory injury or deathIllness, Frostbite or deathRespiratory injury or explosive combinationsShock, burns, fire, deathGrain bins, SilosEntrapment, Suffocation, Explosion fromformation of dangerous gases and poisoning.Injury including cuts abrasions, electrocution,strains, sprains and deathCollisions resulting in injury or deathHand toolsHighway trafficLifting and liftingdevicesLivestock handlingMachinery/EquipmentManure pitsMudNoisePondsSlips/Trips/FallsSun/HeatToxic gasesTractorsBack injury, sprains, strains.

High Risk Factors on FarmsThe following factors may increase risk of injury or illness for farm workers: Age – Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and adults over 65. Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery. Proper machine guarding and doingequipment maintenance according to manufacturers’ recommendations can help prevent accidents. Protective Equipment – Using protective equipment, such as seat belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment(such as safety gloves, coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, face shields) could significantly reduce farming injuries. Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos, orhoppers. Never “walk the grain.” Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide can form in unventilated grain silos andmanure pits and can suffocate or poison workers or explode. Take advantage of safety equipment, such as bypass starter covers, power take-off master shields, and slow-movingvehicle emblems. Medical Care – Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not readily accessible in rural areas near farms.The Benefits of Improved Safety and Health PracticesOrthman Manufacturing Provides this document in the hope that everyone that has a job to do, does it SAFELY. Our goaland yours should be to end each day in the best possible health. Better safety and health practices reduce fatalities,injuries, and illnesses as well as associated costs such as workers’ compensation insurance premiums, lost production,and medical expenses. A safer and more healthful workplace improves morale and productivity.

Tracker Feedback Sensor Update KitOver time, some Orthman Trackers have began to experience a degraded performance due to corrosionrelated issues. The sensor is protected physically from impacts and dirt inside a metal housing. However,this metal housing is susceptible to corrosion from condensation build up. This kit is intended to replace thedegraded parts and to help prevent future problems from corrosion. Please follow the steps below to helpkeep your Orthman Tracker in good working order.
