Agriculture Insurance and Harvest Safety

Fall harvest season can be particularly dangerous for farm owners and workers. Rapidly changing weather conditions, long hours and operating large machinery can cause accidents, making this a challenging time of year.a large green field with trees in the background

Tips for Staying Safe During Harvest Season

Fatigue and machinery malfunctions are a terrible combination, but there are some proactive things that farm workers and employees can do to help reduce the likelihood of an accident.

·        Try to get enough rest. It can be tempting to put in long hours during a farm’s busiest time. While putting in more hours than usual may be necessary to get the work done, prioritizing sleep is also crucial. Take short breaks and plan your day so you can get enough sleep at night when possible.

·        Double-check machinery for potential problems. Even the most technologically advanced farm machinery occasionally malfunctions. Conduct frequent safety checks on machinery and don’t be tempted to skip maintenance, even when things get busy.

·        Consider wearing respiratory Exposure to airborne mold and grain dust can cause health problems later in life. An N-95 mask with two straps and a nose piece with a metal clip can help prevent serious health complications.

·        Wear hearing protection. A tractor without a cab can produce 100 decibels, which can damage the operators’ eardrums. Ear protection with a noise reduction rating (NRR) of NRR-31 can reduce that noise to a safer zone of under 70 decibels.

Farm Hazard Inspection Checklists

The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a multitude of farm hazard inspection checklists to help keep farmers and their workers safe this fall:

·        Crop chemical storage areas

·        Crop and feed storage areas

·        Chemical application equipment

·        Anhydrous ammonia equipment

·        Wagon and other hauling equipment

·        Portable augers and elevators

·        Harvesting equipment

·        Tillage and planting equipment

·        Tractor

·        Manure storage

·        Dairy barns and milking facilities

·        Electrical

·        General inspection for dairy facilities
