HUNTINGDON (Huntingdon
Co.) Having a clean farm can
be a source of satisfaction and
pride. More importantly, cleaning
up reduces health, fire and injury
hazards and makes it easier to do
your work.
Where to start? Here are some
suggestions from safety special
ists and the National Safety
Council:
__ Check all farm buildings for
tripping and fire hazards. Get rid
of unnecessary clutter, such as
unused tools, obsolete parts and
old cans and bottles.
Repair steps and stairs. Fix
or install handrails if wobbly or
missing. Provide ample lighting,
and keep stairs free of clutter.
Tack down loose tread covering or
carpeting.
Clear away dry weeds, brush
and trash around buildings to
reduce fire hazards.
Repair fences and gates,
livestock pens, ladders—anything
that needs,fixing that could
enhance your safety and
efficiency.
Check all machinery.
Replace damaged or missing
shielding, faded safety decals and

When repairing machinery,
put safety first Have the proper

When working on buddings

Watch for overhead power lines.
Have a place for everything

Teach Farm Kids About the
Dangers Around Them
Children growing up on a farm
may look at the barnyard and out
buildings as one big playground.
Unfortunately, that outlook leads
to more than 300 deaths and 5,000
serious injuries a year.

Farms are the scene of many
potentially dangerous situations
that could injure or kill a child.
Most accidents involve tractors
and other power-driven machin
ery. Livestock, farm chemicals,
manure pits and grain bins are also
sources of danger.
Young children do not under
stand the potential dangers they
face on the farm. It’s up to their
parents to educate and protect
them. For example, parents need
to teach children not to play in
grain bins or around manure stor
age areas and ponds. If possible
these areas should be secured or
fenced to make them off-limits tc
kids. Pastures are not play areas
Electric fences can cause shock
and injury. Bulls and other grazing
animals may attack and harm
small children when disturbed.
Unsupervised children could dash
behind a tractor that’s backing up
or climb into a truck that’s being
unloaded. They might sip pipeline
cleaner or other chemicals, espe
cially those stored improperly.
Ail farm chemicals should be
stored in their original containers
in a locked cabinet or shed. When
a container is empty, rinse it thor-

Older children also are at risk if
they are allowed to do a job before
they are physically and emotional
ly able to handle it. Farmers have
been known to add wooden blocks
to the tractor’s pedals so their 9-or
10-year-old child can drive the
equipment That’s just asking for
