To avoid vision threatening injuries, the National Society to Prevent Blindness urges the use of protective eyewear ( when handling and applying anhydrous. “Appropriate chemical . type safety goggles, with hooded vents and a rim fitting closely around the eye -area, are a 'most; Tot everyone at all times when wdridng with or near anhydrous ammonia,” advised Virginia ,S.

The Society cited accident data to emphasize that eye protection 'must be both available and used to ef fectively prevent injury. “Reports show that only 60 percent of victims of - A little pencil work makes it apparent that the difference m total production in one of today’s large commercial houses can add up to thou sands of dozens of eggs during the faying period of a given strain Agway research is continuing to develop feed> mg programs that provide, without excesses, the nutrients your favorite strain needs for optimum production Such research will help you, as a commercial producer, bring more eggs to market at a cost that will provide you a greater return If you would like to know more about the possi bilities of increased production through a tailored Agway feeding program, contact your Agway Poultry Enterprise Serviceperson As a first step, call your local Agway store 'National Academy of Sciences Nutrient Requirements for Chickens anhydrous ammonia ac cidents had safety eyewear lie to them,” Mrs. Boyce stud “And, even where such protection was available, it was largely unused,” she added. Anhydrous ammonia is one of the most damaging substances affecting the eye. Within seconds of contact, it begins destroying cells and tissues. “Should this dangerous chemical get into the eyes, the emergency first aid treatment involves immediately flushing them with fresh water for at least 15 minutes,” Mrs. Boyce advised. Salves or ointments should never be put in the eyes; they tend to com plicate first aid and later medical treatment. “As emergency first aid, if a body of water is nearby, the person affected should immerse himself completely in it - holding his eyelids open so that the ammonia POULTRY ENTERPRISE SERVICE (flGWftv) Uncaster Farming,, Saturday, April 14,1979 can be diluted and washed away. After thoroughly flushing the eyes with water, medical attention from a physician is the next step to be taken. The longer the treatment is delayed, the greater the chances are for sight loss,” Mrs. Boyce cautioned. No one, no matter how careful, is immune to injury when working with anhydrous ammonia.

Each day, carefully check all hose fittings and con nections on equipment. Thoroughly understand how to operate any equip ment prior to use. Many eye injuries occur during the transfer of pressurized anhydrous - ammonia from the bulk supply to smaller tanks, a process which 1 may be repeated several times between production plant and farm users. All it takes. is a minor equipment defect - a weak point in a hose, a faulty valve, a worn fitting - and eyesight may be threatened. Carelessness or human error multiply the dangers to vision.
