23.01.2022 - , ! The majority of chainsaw accidents are caused by people losing their footing while operating the saw. [] Check that there are no people or animals in the work area. [] Do not work in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow or high winds.... [] Always ensure you have a clear work area where you have a stable footing and do not have to reach or work off balance. [] Make your way carefully on uneven or sloping ground. [] Shut the chainsaw off before carrying it. Carry it by the front handle with the bar to the rear - not on your shoulders. [] Apply the chain brake while repositioning your feet. [] Don't work on ladders or at heights unless properly trained. See more

18.01.2022 - Water tanks can contain low oxygen levels due to poor ventilation and decomposing or fermenting matter. Keep out of water tanks by finding other ways to empty, repair and clean them. Safety suggestions include: * Put a lid on the tank so animals and debris can't fall in.... * Fit an external pump or an automated self-cleaning system. * Install taps in above-ground tanks. * Try cleaning out the tank from the outside, using high- pressure hoses. * Never use petrol-powered pumps inside the tank. * Hire a professional when required. A longish video but a good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ddT-TFlI8

16.01.2022 Why should you wear PPE when spraying chemicals? The purple marks on this 4 wheeler are from the dye used to mark weeds that have been sprayed. Note how much purple there is on this bike. How much purple do you think there would have been on the operator? On their skin? In their eyes? In their nose? In their ears? This is after only a few hours spraying. If someone is doing this job day in and day out that is ALOT of cumulative exposure.

15.01.2022 - Silos tend to have poor ventilation. Grains can give off noxious gasses. Grain dust can contain spores and mould.... Fumigation activities can increase the likelihood of being overwhelmed by low oxygen levels. * Use a drier feed so you don't have to enter the silo to unblock the auger discharge, or find ways to mix the feed so that it won't crust. * Clear blockages from the outside through a hatch where possible. * Fit vibration systems or turbulence valves. * Prevent moisture getting in and caking the feed by fitting and maintaining seals. : * Look for signs of gases. Signs of silo gases may include: [] the formation of a faint yellow or red haze that appears from the top of a conventional silo to the bottom of the ladder chute, [] staining on the silo and silage, and [] a bleach-like odor that may be present even at the base of the silo and in the milking parlor. ( , . , .) : * use a strong safety line and harness and wear a personal air monitor. * Never enter a silo if working alone. * Remember that dusts and fumes can exacerbate asthma, so ensure necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) is also worn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PJ2WFxqMbw

11.01.2022 - Kickback occurs when the upper part of the bar nose contacts a solid object or is pinched. This causes a reactive force that may throw the guide bar in an uncontrolled arc towards you and can result in serious injury. Kickback can occur when: [] The bar nose hits hidden limbs or light material.... [] The chainsaw is boring into a log. [] The bar nose is pinched while cutting. [] The bar nose contacts ends of logs or obscured material. [] The chain is loose. [] The depth gauge setting is too low.

07.01.2022 Once again agriculture, forestry, and fishing has the highest rate of fatalities per 100,000. I would love to see us drop below construction. Can we do it? Of course we can!

05.01.2022 The history of safety. Safety Laws were not written by some bureaucrat trying to make life more difficult for Australian business owners. Australian safety laws stem from the earliest attempts by the British to regulate working conditions with Regulation of Chimney Sweeps Act of 1788. It was passed to protect the children, some as young as 4, who were exploited due to their poverty. Many died, other suffered horrible health effects. Unfortunately this story is not unique. Th...is kind of exploitation occurred in many industries. Our laws have changed and evolved a lot since that first Act was passed but the aim has remained the same. To ensure that no-one in the workplace is exposed to unnecessary and avoidable risk. Are you getting safety right in your business? A good measure is this ... Look at this picture. How would you feel if this was your 4 year old child? Would you be comfortable sending your child into your workplace to work? If not, what would have to change? See more
