Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Agricultural organizations are classified as government agencies, standards organizations, technical societies, and private organizations.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Safety color coding is established by OSHA to designate certain dangers and to increase efficiency in work areas.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health In agricultural applications, protective clothing should be snug, but it also should allow ample freedom of movement.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Protective helmets (hard hats) are used to prevent injury from impact, falling and flying objects, and electrical shock in the field.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Eye protection must be worn to prevent injury to the eyes or face from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, chemical gases, radiant energy, or any combination of these hazards.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Earplugs or earmuffs are worn to reduce hearing loss from loud work environments.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Respiratory protection is required to protect against airborne chemical hazards.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Heavy-duty work gloves provide protection from heat, cuts, and abrasions and are the most common type of gloves used in agricultural applications.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Safety boots with reinforced steel toes provide protection against injuries caused by compression and impact.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health When kneeling is required for performing work, knee pads should be worn to prevent fatigue and possible knee damage.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Proper lifting techniques must be used when moving heavy objects to prevent back strain and injuries.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Fire extinguishers are rated for the class of fire as Class A, B, C, or D based on the combustible material.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health A safety can is a UL ® -approved container not exceeding 5 gal. that has a spring-loaded lid on the spout to prevent the escape of explosive vapors but allow the relief of internal pressure.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Oily waste cans are designed for the safe containment of cloth and paper soiled with flammable materials.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Exhaust evacuation systems are used to evacuate carbon monoxide and other harmful fumes from structures that require ventilation.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health The NFPA Hazard Signal System uses a four-color diamond sign to display basic information about hazardous materials.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health The Hazardous Materials Identification Guide (HMIG) is used to rank the severity of hazards associated with a material.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health A safety data sheet (SDS) is printed documentation used to relay hazardous material information from the manufacturer, importer, or distributor to the worker.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health A parts cleaning tank is used for cleaning oil, grease, and sludge from parts in solvents and has a self-closing lid.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Because lead is toxic if swallowed or inhaled, exposure levels must be monitored.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Exposure levels must be monitored when performing work with primers and solvents.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Bloodborne pathogens are bacteriums or viruses of a disease in the blood.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health An electrical shock results when a body becomes part of an electrical circuit.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health GCFIs are installed in agricultural structures because of possible exposure of electrical equipment to moisture and water.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Equipment, such as mechanical valves and electrical equipment, must be locked out and tagged out before any preventive maintenance or servicing is performed.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Lockout devices are lightweight enclosures that allow the lockout of standard control devices.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Ladder types include fixed ladders, single ladders, extension ladders, and stepladders.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Single or extension ladders may be raised with the ladder tip away from, or with the ladder tip against the structure.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Extension ladders are positioned on a 4:1 ratio.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health A sectional metal-framed scaffold consists of preformed tubular sections and components.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Scaffold fall protection equipment includes lifelines, harnesses, lanyards, and rope grabs.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Hoists are used for manually lifting heavy loads and can be hand-chain or ratchet-lever designs.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Material lifts are mobile lifting apparatuses used to transport, hoist, or stack materials using hydraulic and mechanical systems.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Confined spaces are large enough and configured so a person can enter and perform assigned work, have limited or restricted means for entry and exit, and are not designed for continuous occupancy.

Chapter 2 — Safety and Health Emergency eyewash stations should be installed in locations where there is a chance of chemicals or other contaminants entering the eyes.
