  9. Safety Policy and Procedure • Safety policy is a plan. • Safety procedures are actions to be taken.

  10. Safety Color Codes • Used to alert people to dangers and hazards. • Help people locate certain objects • Make the shop a pleasant place to work • Promote cleanliness and order

  11. Green = Safety • Is used to designate safety equipment and first aid supplies and medical practice.

  12. Red = Danger • Is used to designate fire safety equipment and safety switches.

  13. Orange = Warning • Is used to designate dangerous parts of equipment such as edges and openings.

  14. Yellow = Caution • Designates the adjustments or controls such as levers, wheels and knobs on the equipment.

  15. Blue = Information • Is used to caution against starting out of working order equipment. Signs use white letters on the blue background.

  16. Gray • Is used to paint floors of the work area. It can also be used on the body of equipment and table tops.

  17. Yellowand Black Stripes • Is used to mark stairs, protruding objects and stationary hazards.

  18. White • Is used to mark off traffic areas. • Can be used to mark work areas around equipment.

  19. Focal Colors • Used to draw a person’s attention to large items. • Ex. Floors, machines or cabinets • They are in contrast with safety colors.

  20. Ivory • Is used to highlight or improve visibility. • Ex. Storage chest, table edges and standing vises

  21. Vista Green • Is used to paint bodies of machines, cabinets and stationary tools.

  22. Aluminum • Is used on waste containers used for scrap wood, metal or rags.

  23. Assignment • In your teams, measure and draw the shop TO SCALE! • Design the shop in a functional layout • Color with safety colors

  24. Noise Safety • Noise is measured in decibels. • Noise Intensity- the level of energy in the sound waves. • Noise Duration- the length of time a person is exposed to the sound.

  25. Hearing losses caused by level and the amount of time exposed to the noise. • 90 decibels or higher is dangerous. • Earmuffs and ear plugs can protect hearing loss.

  26. Near total silence - 0 dB • A whisper - 15 dB • Normal conversation - 60 dB • A lawnmower - 90 dB • A car horn - 110 dB • A rock concert or a jet engine - 120 dB • A gunshot or firecracker - 140 dB

  27. Housekeeping and Organization • To be safe and efficient, a shop must be large enough to have reasonable space for each person working in the shop. • A clean and well-organized shop decreases the chance of accidents.

  28. An approved flammable materials cabinet improves shop safety by providing a safe place to store those materials and by automatically closing if there is a fire.

  29. Tools and materials should be put in their proper places to save time and prevent accidents.

  30. Other Safety Rules • To help prevent back injuries, heavy objects should be lifted with the legs, not with the back. • Loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair can cause serious injury by getting caught in saws, drills and other equipment with rotating or turning parts.

  31. The types of safety protection devices needed depend on the work being done in a shop, but the minimum protection should be wearing safety glasses. • The best protective clothing for agricultural workers is coveralls.

  32. Causes of Farm Accidents

  33. Safety Aspects of Agricultural Mechanics

  34. Causes and Prevention • Safety is when the workers are free from danger, risk, or injury. • Safety in agricultural mechanics shops depends mainly on the people who use the shops.

  35. The major causes of accidents are unsafe actions by people and unsafe working conditions. • The best way to control accidents is prevention. Then next best approach is to use protective devices such as safety glasses, face shields, gloves, steel toe shoes, aprons, guards, etc.

  36. Classes of Fires • Class A is caused by ordinary combustibles such as wood or paper. Symbol is green triangle.

  37. Class B is caused by flammable liquids such as gasoline or solvents. Symbol is a red square.

  38. Class C is caused by electricity. Symbol is a blue circle.
