Digital Re-print - July | August 2012 Health & Safety in the working environment

www.gfmt.co.uk

The agricultural workplace is full of hazards, with farmers at particu-larly high risk of work related

injuries, illnesses and even death. It is vitally important therefore that the right precautions are taken consistently to protect the health and safety of everyone in the farm environment, be they farmers themselves, those that work for them, both employees and contractors - as well as visitors and family members.

Taking farm safety and security seriously is a key part of any successful business plan in the agricultural sector. Get it right and things go much more efficiently. Get it wrong, even for a second, and things can easily tip into disaster with tragic consequences for individuals and indeed the whole business.

Of course attention has to be focused on the big hazards that can maim and kill, but accidents like slips, trips and falls, chronic poisoning, eye injuries, cuts and crushing can all happen in an agricultural setting, so it is important to raise everyone’s awareness and help prevent these accidents from becoming a regular occurrence. And farming is one of the few high-risk industries where the workforce has to share its working environ-ment with the family; most farms are homes as well as workplaces and the dangers for children especially are ever present.

Risk assessment >It is not just about accidents. Farming

also brings with it a high risk of work-related

health damage, for example, lung diseases, noise-induced hearing loss, skin diseases, and certain cancers associated with chemical use and prolonged sun exposure. When it comes to working out what action needs to be taken to prevent these things happening, carrying out some basic risk assessments is a good place to start so that you can manage the risks sensibly and maintain a safe and sound working environment.

The law is pretty clear. The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act) puts a duty on all employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of employees and any others who may be affected by what they do. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 backs this up with key management tasks. Self-employed people also have a duty to look after themselves and others. But it is not really about the law. Taking sensible precautions is the right thing to do. And if the resources and effort are properly directed at the main threats, it makes good business sense too.

After all, healthy quality crops and animals are what keep the farming industry thriving and they enable farmers and growers to stay in business. So how much more important is it that those who deliver these outputs should be healthy and safe too?

Effective agricultural practice is all about good planning, such as focusing on just what

to plant when and where, as well as making regular assessments of risks such as pests and plant and animal diseases.

The management of health and safety is no different. This is why a risk assessment is integral to ensuring that the agricultural workplace continues to run smoothly, as well as providing the business with a cred-ible action plan for the future. If assessments are suitably comprehensive, they will not only pick up risks from hazards such as farm machinery, electricity and animals, but will also help to pinpoint any fire risks and help assess the best and safest way of storing fertilisers and other hazardous substances.

Hidden hazards >Many hazards are obvious but it is vital

that everyone on the farm, especially new starters and those who are new to the industry, know about hidden dangers such as oxygen deficient atmospheres in confined spaces, such as those found in grain/forage silos and bins, slurry pits etc. These enclosed spaces can be accidents waiting to happen and in some cases people have been killed just because they were ignorant of the hazard. Serious injuries can result from fires, near drowning in pools or asphyxiation from being crushed by bales etc.

When carrying out an assessment, ask yourself: can the work be done another way? If it involves substances hazardous to

Remember, in agriculture the most com-mon cause of serious and fatal injuries involves moving and overturning vehicles. Proper guarding is absolutely vital, for exam-ple, to prevent the terrible accidents that can occur with PTO shafts.

Prevention: education & training >In summary, despite less than 1.5 per

cent of the working population being employed in agriculture, the sector is responsible for between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of fatalities to workers each year. According to the HSE, in 2010/11, there were 42 fatalities reported, which is consistent with the agriculture average over the past five years. To reiterate, the main causes of death to workers are being run over by agricultural transport or a vehicle overturning. This is closely followed by falling from a height and being struck by moving or falling objects such as bales. So what is the answer with regards to reducing this number of inci-dents? Fundamentally it lies in education and training and encouraging individuals to make significant changes to their behaviour. It also requires leadership by example by farmers themselves and farm managers.

Do not be afraid to ask for help. There are many bodies out there; suppli-ers, major customers, RoSPA, the NFU, safety groups, and colleges that can all help you to take stock of where you are now and where you can make improve-ments. Remember, safety is no accident. If you fail to plan for safety, then you are planning to fail.

that minimises the distance and consequences of a fall.Forward planning here goes a long

way; for example, stacking materials is a skill and requires trained staff to carry out the job safely and properly.

Thorough inspections and correct use of ladders for access to the load will help to minimise the risk of injury, as will ensuring that full loads are secured before leaving the field. A falling bale, for example, can kill quite easily, so remain-ing alert is a must when unloading and destacking so that no people are hurt in the vicinity.

It is also necessary to check that the ladders which you are using are set up on level ground, free from obstruction so that they are not leaning against a fragile surface and secure enough to prevent them from slipping.

Livestock dangers >Another area that needs to be

assessed to make it safer and more efficient is that of livestock handling. The handling of cattle in particular needs great care and attention as it always involves a risk of injury. There have been many incidents of crushing, kicking, butt-ing or goring of humans by cattle and many people have died as a result. But the risk of injury is greater if the animals have not been handled regularly and there should be a culling policy in place for temperamental animals.

This law exists to protect workers’ health when coming into con-tact with high dust levels produced by the moving and processing of grain and seed.

Lung diseases such as asthma can ensue as a result of short-term and long-term exposure to the dust which con-tains bacteria, fungi and insect residues. Controlling the level of exposure is the best way to help prevent occupational lung diseases from developing. If breath-ing in the dust is unavoidable, the use of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is advised. Workers should receive train-ing on how to use RPE properly, includ-ing the importance of keeping it clean and stored away from dust. Some dusts, such as barley, can irritate the skin.

Only trained people should be present during the milling process and there should be plenty of ventilation, typically five to 10 air changes per hour, with a through draught. The equipment should also be checked for signs of damage, ensuring that the dust extraction and gauges work properly. A ventilation engineer should examine the extraction and test its perform-ance at least one every 14 months and non-disposable RPE should also be examined and tested at least once every three months. Keeping records of these examinations and tests for at least five years will highlight where pre-ventive maintenance may be needed.

Ensure you have the up-to-date safety data sheets for all chemicals and products and plan for as well as practise emergency procedures. Include supervisors and managers in health and safety training and supervise your workers, making sure they know what to do if something goes wrong as well as following the correct work method. Above all, make sure you consult them to get their views, ideas and buy-in.

Can method (Kansas State University) and the New Holmen method (Borregaard LignoTech) are both effective tools for meas-uring durability and predicting the amount of fines that will be delivered to the farm. Their ability to measure quality changes in a corn/soya pellet was tested in a 2 x 2 x 2 facto-rial experiment (Winowiski). The changes were: adding 10 percent DDGS; adding one percent lignin sulfonate (LS Binder); and increasing conditioning temperature by 5ºC (Table 2 and Figure 3).

Each of these changes was expected to cause a change in pellet durability. The point of this test was to measure the relative impact of each factor and the ability of the two meth-ods to clearly show the response. There was good agreement between the two methods, but the effect on pellet quality was easier to observe with the New Holmen method.

Most pellet binders can make some nutrient claims. However, the main reason for using a commercial binder is to secure the benefits associated with good pellet quality. The choice to use a particular product should be made first based on its binding performance. This is its purpose and this is where its real value lies. It should be possible to measure a binder’s performance directly at the feed plant by use of a pellet durability test. A positive response should then be confirmed with field samples. Only after a product has been selected based on its performance is it time to consider the nutrients it may contribute.

fed good quality pellets have been shown to have significantly increased gain while those fed low durability pellets performed the same as those fed unpelleted diets (Lemme). Shifting 10 units of fines into pellets has been shown to increase the effective caloric value (ECV) of the feed by 18.7 kcal/kg (McKinney). This is simply the result of birds spending less of their energy eating.

Suppose adding 0.5 percent pellet binder could cause a 10 unit shift in fines at the feeder. That would mean that 5 kg of binder effectively contributed 18,700 kcal per metric ton of feed; each kilo of binder therefore

effectively contributed 3,740 kcal to the diet.

Are pellet binders really that effective? That remains to be meas-ured, and the type of seg-regation that is illustrated in Figure 2 makes it obvi-ous that sim-ply collecting a few samples might give a misleading result. Pellet durability testers can be useful for testing bind-ers, as well as determining the impact of other fac-tors such as adding dis-tiller’s grains or increasing conditioning temperature.

The Tumbling

reduced delivered fines from 21.3 percent to 9.7 percent and was a positive step toward reducing segregation (Winowiski).

Binding benefitsQuality pellets reduce segregation and

increase productive energy. It has been clearly demonstrated that fast-growing birds fed pellets spend less time eating and more time resting (Skinner-Noble). Just like us, this behavior helps them to pack on the pounds. By reducing the energy required for prehension of their food they shift calories from maintenance to production. Broilers
