Potential Hazards in Agriculture • Ponds and other open • Grain bins and silos bodies of waters • Fires and explosions • Extreme heat and • Chemicals, humidity pesticides, herbicides • Material storage • Tractors, combines, facilities and other equipment • Manure pits • Machinery and other • ATVs implements • Livestock and other • Electricity animals Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Grain Bin and Silo Hazards • Engulfment - Grain inside a bin can form a crust on top, that when broken can engulf a person within a matter of seconds • Fall • Entanglement/crushing/amputation from grain handling equipment (e.g. augers, conveyors,) • Combustible dust Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Grain Engulfment Fatalities US Tuesday, July 11, 2017
June 29, 2013: Veedersburg, Indiana Engulfment Engulfment Rescuers work to recover the body of a worker that was killed after becoming engulfed in a grain bin. Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Grain Bin and Silo Precautions • Seek alternatives that eliminate or reduce personnel entry! • Never enter a grain bin without the proper lifeline support!! • Prepare an Emergency Plan • Inform co-workers and maintain an attendant on the outside of the bin • Do not permit children to play in or around grain bins • Lockout all moving equipment and protect floor openings • Check atmosphere to ensure sufficient oxygen • Control potential ignition sources – hot bearing, overhead motor, misaligned conveyor belt, welding, cutting, and brazing activities. Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Fire/Explosion Hazards • Dry and dusty confined areas • Flammable and/or combustible chemicals • Hay storage • Fueling and fuel storage • Electrical problems • Heaters • Machinery • Welders and torches Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Fire Hazard Precautions • Remove weeds and brush around buildings • Arrange shops and barns so that flammables are safely away from ignition sources. • Use approved electrical installations in any buildings which are cleaned periodically with high-pressure equipment. • Inspect all wiring and electric motors and appliances for exposed wires, broken insulation, improper grounding and incorrect installations. • Check the heating system . See that air shafts are clean of dust and debris, motors are cleaned and oiled (if necessary) each season, and pulley belts are in good working order. • Check gas and fuel oil system for leaks and unsafe installations. Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Fire Hazard Precautions • Strictly enforce a no smoking rule inside a building or areas where flammable and combustible materials are stored. Never smoke when refueling. • When transferring flammable liquids from metal containers, bind the containers to each other and ground the one being dispersed from to prevent sparks from static electricity. • Flammable liquids should be clearly marked and stored in approved containers in well ventilated areas away from heat and sparks. Keep above ground fuel storage tanks at least 40 feet from buildings. • Store compressed gases in a secure upright position, away from heat sources in an outdoor location. Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Fire Hazard Precautions • Keep flammables at least 35 feet from a hot work area. Be sure other tanks and other containers that have held flammable liquids are completely naturalized and purged before you do any hot work on them • Always have a fire extinguisher on hand during hot work. Use portable cutting and welding equipment in clean work areas. • Avoid storing wet hay and check stored hay for warm spots. If hay temperature is noticeably warmer than when it was put in, watch it closely. If the temperature reaches 175 degrees F, get the hay out or divide it into small, shallow stacks. • Watch for silage danger signs - heat, release of moisture, vapor or steam, smoke, a charred tobacco smell. A fine chop permits the material to be packed more firmly in both trench and upright silos. • Re-fuel machinery with care. Watch for and repair leaks in fuel lines, carburetors, pumps and filters. • Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Fire Hazards Precautions: Summary • Ensure dust suppression systems are maintained!!! • DO: • Avoid clutter of flammable materials. • Maintain heating systems. • Install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in buildings. • Watch for leaks or deterioration in fuel storage and delivery equipment. • DON’T: • Smoke in areas where flammable materials are stored. • Re -fuel engines inside buildings or when hot or running. • Store wet hay
Machinery and Equipment Hazards • Overturns • Center of gravity falls outside of its base stability • Run-over/back-over incidents • By-passing the ignition switch to start the equipment • Failure to set the parking brake on a slope or incline • Falling or jumping from the equipment • Failing to see by-standers or other workers • Highway accidents • Falls from equipment • Contact with objects Tuesday, July 11, 2017
October 29, 2009: Auger Swayzee, Indiana in Auger Caught in Caught A worker attempted to step over the top of an auger and became caught. The worker died as a result of his injuries. Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Machinery/Equipment Safety Precautions • • Always read and follow the Never rely solely upon a machine’s hydraulic system to machinery/equipment manufacturer’s instructions keep it suspended • • Inspect equipment routinely Never place yourself between a tractor and implements when • Do not wear loose clothing hitching around moving parts • Never crawl under a machine • Never reach over or work near or implement without first rotating parts chocking or blocking • Turn off machinery before • Never allow anyone near a performing maintenance chain when it is under stress • Make sure that guards on farm • Install roll over protection equipment are replaced after maintenance.

Electrical Hazards • Contact with overhead power lines • Absence of adequate grounding • Overloaded circuits • Damaged or faulty wiring • Missing safety shields or guards • Center pivot irrigation systems • Pond pumps Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Electrical Hazard Precautions • Overhead Lines • Assume that all overhead wires are energized at deadly voltages. • Call the electric utility company to report fallen electrical lines. • Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from overhead wires during cleanup and other activities. • Proper Electrical Installation • Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized. • Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before energizing it • If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords and equipment to ensure that they are in good condition and free of defects, and use a groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI). • Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.
Chemical Hazards • Pesticides/herbicides • Anhydrous ammonia • Water well contamination • Fertilizers • Medicines for livestock and/or other animals Tuesday, July 11, 2017
