 Unsafe Acts - are activities or behaviors that depart from established
safety norms, such as disobeying safety guidelines or failing to properly

Occupational Safety When in the Farm – safety practices set by farm owners And can give some situations

Hazards and Risk in the Farm - farmers are exposed to a lot of risk, which can
lead to major accidents or injuries. Risk is the possibility of a hazard to exist. It
may cause injury or health problems. It is important that workers are properly
trained and properly guided by the management.

Types of Hazards:
Hazard can potentially harm or injure workers. In any workplace, hazard
exists. Over fatigue, improper posture while harvesting the crops, and using
unguarded machineries are some of the common hazards.
 Physical Hazard – it includes weak platform,
slippery stairs or floorings, falling objects,
excessively loud music, prolonged vibration, poor

ventilation, extreme temperatures, and poor air quality.

 Mechanical Hazard – is caused by electrically

operated machineries or devices that can cause
electric shock or electrocution. Pressure vessels,
tractors, and cranes are all used in farm
operations.

 Chemical Hazard – are typical of hazardous
chemicals that can cause fire and explosion that
came from pesticides, cleaning agents, acids,
and poisons. Exposure to certain chemicals or
improper handling and use of those chemicals,
can cause acute or long-term adverse health
effects. Main classifications of chemical hazards
include: asphyxiants, corrosives, irritants,
sensitizers, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens,
reactants, and flammables. Long term exposure to chemical hazards such as
silica dust, engine exhausts, tobacco smoke, and lead may result to increase
risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Use of protective
personal equipment (PPE) is advised because it may reduce the risk of
damage from contact with hazardous chemicals and materials.

 Biological Hazard – includes bacteria, viruses,

mold, mildew, insects, and vermin, among
others.

 Psychosocial Hazard – is the stresses that farmers

get from work, family, or even among friends.

 Ergonomic Hazard- refers to any physical

condition that can be experienced in the
workplace due to incorrect body movement/s
that can cause injury or other health concern that may affect
musculoskeletal system causing aches and sprains that may appear not too

serious at first but may develop into serious health problem which can
cause permanent damage to the body.

Chemicals and Hazardous Tools and Equipment Used for Farm Work
1. Spraying Chemicals - The use of fertilizers and pesticides are common in
farming. These are used to control pests, weeds, and mollusks. Spraying is
the most common method of applying chemicals. Farm owners consult local
agriculturist for the appropriate chemicals to use in their crops.
Here are some important things to remember when using chemical for the
crops:
o Do not attempt to spray if there is a strong wind and its direction is
towards the body of water or a house.
o Never wash the spray equipment with water running down into open
drains or towards a dam or a
o Refrain from using used chemical containers.
To reduce the risk of hazardous chemicals, do the following:
o Appropriate PPE must be used.
o Store the chemicals in locked cabinets or storage area.
o Know the first aid procedures.
o Provide a list of hazardous chemicals used in the farm.

2. Land Preparation using Heavy Equipment and Implements – the use of

mechanical equipment for land preparation like tractor might involve risks
such as a person being run over by it. The tractor also has the tendency to
overturn, especially if it is running too fast, or the operator makes a sharp
turn, sudden swerve, or sudden stop.
Here are some things to remember when using heavy farm implements:
o Do not use a tractor for transportation. It is not a passenger vehicle.
o Use a seatbelt when driving a tractor.
o Use of PPE can save the operator from serious injuries.

To avoid possible hazard and risks in the farm PPE is advised.

Safety is the physical environmental condition of work which complies with
Occupational Health Safety (OHS) standards and which allows the farmers to

6
 MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

perform their job without or within acceptable exposure to hazards. One of the
basic requirements to maintain these standards is the provision of PPE. This can
reduce the number and severity of farmers related injuries and illnesses.

Farm Respiratory Protection - Since farmers use fertilizers

and other chemicals, it is necessary for them to use
respirators to protect themselves from inhaling mold spores
and chemicals. Respirators must be properly selected, worn,
and maintained to ensure maximum protection.

Eye Protection - This is used to protect farmers’ eyes from

possible flying objects, liquid sprays, or other elements that
may enter their eyes. There are several types of eye protectors
like goggles and glasses with safety shields, among others.

fog/dp/B0BWKYKDPT

Foot Protection - A farmers’ feet is one of the most exposed

parts of the body during work. Wearing appropriate footwear
protects the farmer from stepping on sharp objects or animal
bites. It can also protect him/her from slipping.

Hand Protection - Farmers use gloves to protect their

hands from hazardous elements such as holding chemicals
or removing infested crops. Use disposable gloves when
dealing with infested crops.

Head Protection - Since farmers are

commonly exposed to heat of the sun, it is
important for them to wear a hat. This is also
necessary to protect their head from slip or fall.

Body Protection - It comes in many forms, depending on

the job. Farmers often wear long sleeve clothes and jeans.
This is necessary to protect them from harmful elements.

Basic First Aid during emergency situation and accidents in the farm
Shock
1. Do not give the victim anything to eat or drink.
2. Lay the victim on his/her back but do not move him/her if there is a neck or
back injury.
3. Make sure that the victim gets adequate air.
4. Keep the victim warm.
5. Raise the victim’s fee and legs with a pillow.
6. If the victim vomits, roll the victim on his/her side and keep the windpipe
clear.
Bleeding and Wounds
1. Place a clean cloth or gauze over the wound. Apply firm, steady pressure for
at least 5 minutes.
2. Elevate an injured arm or leg above the level of the victim’s heart if possible.
3. When bleeding stops, secure the cloth with a bandage. Do not lift the cloth
from the wound to check if the bleeding has stopped. Be sure that the
bandage is not too tight.
4. Check the victim for shock.
5. Use torniquets only when you cannot control the bleeding.
Chemical or Compressed Gas Burns
1. Use a drench hose, emergency shower, or eyewash for at least 15 minutes to
rinse away all traces of chemicals while removing any contaminated
clothing from the victim.
2. Cover the burn loosely with a clean, dry cloth or special burn dressing.
3. Check the victim for shock.

Heat or Electric Burn

1. Submerge the burned area in cold, clean running water if the skin is not
seriously affected.
8
 MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

2. Avoid applying cream or any form of ointment

Fainting
1. Ordinarily, fainting victims immediately regain consciousness after. If this
does not happen, the victim should immediately be brought to the
emergency room.
2. For the first aid, the victim should be laid down on their back and allow plenty
of fresh air. Apply cold compress in the forehead and if the victim vomits, keep
the windpipe clear by rolling him to his/her side.
Heat Stroke
1. Heat stroke is life-threatening so this should never be taken for granted.
Flush, hot and dry skin, rapid pulse, very minimal perspiration, and
unconsciousness are signs of heat stroke.
2. You need to bring the victim to a cooler place and lie him/her on the back
with feet up, then loosen clothing and remove footwear. Apply cold compress
or wet towel on the forehead, neck, armpit, and extremities to cool the victim.
Treat the victim for shock or bring the victim to the nearest hospital.

3. Lesson Activity
Ask students how do they think accident happened in the farm? Then relate it
to the day’s topic. On the safety measures in the farm operations.
Simulation Activity – the class can be divided into 5 groups and can simulate
one emergency situation in the farm and what first aid response must be
applied.
