Experts remind of noise
and hand tool hazards
Saturday, July 31, marks
the end of National Farm
Safety Week, and two final
reminders from the Penn
sylvania State Extension
Service are to watch noise
and hand tool hazards.
LOUD NOISES CAN
BE HAZARDOUS -
Noise is sometimes
defined as “any unwanted
sound.” It is an annoying
part of our everyday lives,
yet it can prove useful; the
blast of an automobile horn
may warn of impending
danger, or a persistent
squeak may call attention to
a machine in need of ad
justment. But excessive
noise serves no useful
purpose, and it can cause
permanent hearing loss if
exposures repeatedly exceed
safe limits, says Dennis J.
Murphy, Extension safety
specialist. The Pennsylvania
State University.
Noise exposure limits are
based on both the measured
noise level and the duration
of the exposure.
Only a trained and ex
perienced person, using
calibrated precision in
struments, can determine
with certainty whether or not

these limits are being ex
ceeded. The following rule
of-thumb may, however, be
used as a rough guide; if you
must raise your voice to be
understood by a person three
feet away, it is possible that
your safe daily “noise dose”
is being exceeded, says
Murphy.
Voice exposures can be
controlled by reducing noise
levels, by interrupting or
reducing the duration of
exposure to high noise levels,
and by wearing protective
equipment such as ear muffs
and ear plugs, adds Murphy.
HAND TOOL SAFETY
URGED BY
SPECIALIST
Simple hand tools con
tribute to a large percentage
of work injuries. Nearly
everyone has used these
tools and is familiar with
them. And that is the
problem! Few people are
trained in the proper use and
m the selection of the proper
tool for a specific job.
Some of the common rules
for all hand tools are;
- Use the right tool for the
job. Some examples of
misuse of tools are using a
wrench as a hammer, pliers
as a wrench, and a claw
hammer as a ball peen
hammer.
-Keep tools m good con
dition. Broken or worn tools
should be promptly repaired
or discarded.
- Use tools in the way they
were intended to be used.
for J^ree
'eitimate
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 31,1976 —
(e.g. users should cut away
from the body when using
knives, ground all electric
tools, use only pry bars for
prying, etc.).
- Keep tools m a safe place.
Many accidents have been
caused by tools falling from
overhead, and by sharp tools
carried in pockets.
A few of the more specific
rules that apply to hand tools
commonly found on farms
and around most homes
include:
- Never strike with the side
of the hammer.
- Never strike one hammer
with another.
-Don’t use chisels with
mushroomed heads and dull
cutting edges (edges can be
sharpened).
