Protecting Your Eyes, Ears and Lungs


Your Eyes Are Irreplaceable

Particles of rock, soil, crop material or other foreign objects thrown from equipment that chops or grinds can cause eye injury to the operator or a bystander. Keep machinery properly shielded. Keep away from the discharge path.

Eye injuries are more likely to occur when servicing farm equipment than when operating it. Simple hand tools can cause severe eye injuries. Wear industrial strength eye protection when using hand tools. Select the right tool for the job.

More Than Just Hearing...

Although noisy environments can lead to permanent hearing loss, they also can affect people in other ways. Noisy environments can lead to increased anxiety, hypertension, and fatigue. Many people who wear hearing protection feel better in general at the end of the day.

Hearing loss can be prevented with the proper use of hearing protection devices (HPDs). These devices provide a barrier between the sound and the ear, or absorb sound waves before they enter the ear.

Want To Breathe Better?

Protective equipment is important when farmers (or anyone) work with pesticides and other toxic products. Protective equipment is equally important when farmers work in dusty conditions common to most farms.

Exposure to grain dust, molds, pollen, animal dander, soil dust, welding fumes, and diesel exhaust can lead to serious respiratory problems. Although they are less toxic than some chemicals; dusts are suspended in the air and can easily enter the lungs and cause damage.
