Farm and ranch work often exposes hands to hazards like unguarded equipment, chemicals, and temperature extremes. This training helps owners and workers recognize risks and adopt effective hand safety measures to reduce injuries and downtime.
Use cases
- Essential for employees handling machinery, chemicals, or tools on the farm or ranch
- Useful before starting a new task or introducing new equipment to assist with Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
- Helps orient new workers to farm safety protocols regarding hand and finger protection
Why it works
- Covers specific agricultural risks such as equipment pinch points, unsafe clothing, and chemical exposure
- Outlines practical steps for PPE selection, proper glove use, and maintenance routines
- Reinforces the importance of situational awareness and adherence to lockout/tagout procedures to prevent farm injuries
