(ffnt prevention during Farm Safety

rjtulture is the second most dan-
g irous industry in the United

£The theme for this year’s na-
tional event is “Prepare to Prevent."

problem!
Remind kids: The farm is not a
playground! Kids may love to
explore the farm from pillar to post,
but climbing can be a dangerous
activity, especially around equip-
ment and buildings. Remind chil-
dren not to play around equip-
ment... A curious child may find
equipment left in gear with keys in
the ignition. Children can play
safely in designated areas without
climbing into trouble.
Chemicals and kids don’t mix!
Chemicals and kids are a deadly
combination. Keep pesticides and
other toxins secured and away from
youngsters. Remind them that
chemical storage areas are “off
limits’’ and not play areas.
Is your child ready to work on
the farm? Just because your child
is interested in farm work does not
mean that they should be allowed
to participate in farm tasks. It is
arjd “yes” to a safe future.

important lor your child to have
both the physical and cognitive
skills necessary to safely complete
a farm task. Make sure the tasks]
that you assign your child are age
and developmentally appropriate.;
Children should always receive
training before they are allowed to:
do a task. Even with training, adult
supervision should be present at all
times.
Children and youth are at in-!
creased risk for injury and death for
many other reasons. Most of these j
reasons stem from copying what
they see adults do on the farm or ,
ranch. This is a reminder to parents ;
to set a good example and help to
keep kids safe.
The Polk County Farm Bureau
promotes public awareness of
farm/ranch safety and health and
encourages everyone to work to
reduce the hazards that impact the
safety and health of youth in agri-
cultural settings.
