Safety & Health at Farms

 We all know that farms are peaceful settings. But actually, farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in the many countries. Farms have many health and safety hazards, including chemicals and pesticides. Machinery, tools and equipment can be dangerous also hazardous areas such as grain bins, silos and wells and even livestock that can spread diseases or cause injuries.
Another most unavoidable situation is overexposure to heat. It can stress the body’s cooling system and when combined with other stresses like hard physical labour or some medical conditions, it can lead to heat-related illness, disability and even death.
Heat stress symptoms are a set of natural signals telling you that something needs to be done to balance your body’s heating and cooling. As our body heats up, it tries to rid itself of excess heat through the evaporation of sweat.
