ACRE Safety Thought. #14

I want to follow through on safety planning as presented in my earlier post. Researchers need to think about and prepare a “Project Specific Safety Plan” for your work at the ACRE. Do you have special hazards that should be addressed? Like tractor operation, moving PTO shafts, powered moving belts or pulleys, stationary threshers, driving on the farm and to and from campus, etc. Please identify hazards and train your people to work safely. A simple outline of your “Project Specific” safety points is an important start. If you use your word processing program even digital pictures can be added to the outline to help identify the hazards. The “General Farm Safety” training program conducted at Throckmorton-PAC is good to attend too. So think, plan, train, and work safely at ACRE. Thanks Jim
