AREAS OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY MEASURES
Title
Unit of Competency: Raising Poultry
LO 1.1b. Determining the areas of concern for safety measures
WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?
This lesson deals with the areas of concern for safety measures in
raising poultry.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
1. Determine the areas of concern for safety measures in raising
poultry.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Chemical Substance - a form of matter that has constant chemical
composition and characteristic properties. It cannot be separated into
components by physical separation methods, i.e. without breaking chemical
bonds. They can be solids, liquids or gases.
Ecology - the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with
respect to each other and their natural environment.
First aid - the provision of initial care for an illness or injury. It is usually
performed by non-expert, but trained personnel to a sick or injured person
until definitive medical treatment can be accessed. Certain self-limiting

5. 5
illnesses or minor injuries may not require further medical care past the first
aid intervention. It generally consists of a series of simple and in some cases,
potentially life-saving techniques that an individual can be trained to perform
with minimal equipment.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) - refers to protective clothing, helmets,
goggles, or other garment or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body
from injury by blunt impacts, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and
infection, for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, and in
sports, martial arts, combat, etc. Personal armor is combat-specialized
protective gear.
Pollution – is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment
that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e.
physical systems or living organisms.
Waste management – is the collection, transport, processing or disposal,
managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to
materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally
undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics.
Waste management – is a distinct practice from resource recovery which
focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The
management of wastes treats all materials as a single class, whether solid,
liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and tried to reduce the harmful
environmental impacts of each through different methods.
Wastes – are unwanted or useless materials.
AREAS OF CONCERN FOR FARM SAFETY
Every farm is different, but hazards common to most farms include:
1. Animals – injuries inflicted by animals can include bites, kicks,
crushing, ramming, trampling, and transmission of certain infectious
diseases such as giardia, salmonella, ringworm and leptospirosis.
2. Chemicals – pesticides and herbicides can cause injuries such as
burns, respiratory illness or poisoning.
3. Confined spaces – such as silos, water tanks, milk vats and manure
pits may contain unsafe atmospheres, which can cause poisoning or
suffocation.
4. Electricity – dangers include faulty switches, cords, machinery or
overhead power lines.
5. Heights – falls from ladders, rooftops, silos and windmills are a major
cause of injury.
6. Machinery – hazards include tractors without roll-over protection
structures (ROPS), power take-off (PTO) shafts, chainsaws, augers,
motorbikes and machinery with unguarded moving parts.
7. Noise pollution – noise from livestock, machinery and guns can affect
your hearing.

6. 6
8. Vehicles – crashes or falls from motorbikes, two-wheel and quad bikes,
tractors.
9. Water – drowning can occur in as little as five centimeters of water.
Dams, lakes, ponds, rivers, channels, tanks, drums and creeks are all
hazards. Young children are particularly at risk.
10. Weather – hazards include sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration and
hypothermia.
Health and Safety Hazards on Farms
 Farm workers – including farm families and migrant workers—are
exposed to hazards such as the following:
 Chemicals/Pesticides  Highway traffic  Noise
 Toxic gases  Livestock handling  Electricity
 Dust  Grain bins  Slips/Trips/Falls
 Machinery/ Equipment  Cold  Silos
 Tractors  Sun/Heat  Hand tools
 Wells  Mud
The following factors may increase risk of injury or illness for farm
workers:
 Age – Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and
adults over 65.
 Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve
machinery. Proper machine guarding and doing equipment
maintenance according to manufacturer’s recommendations can help
prevent accidents.
 Protective Equipment – Using protective equipment, such as seat
belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment (such as safety
gloves, coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, and face shields) could
significantly reduce farming injuries.
 Medical Care – Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not
readily accessible in rural areas near farms.

WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?
This lesson tackles the different types of PPE use in raising poultry.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
1. Identify the different types of personal protective equipment
used in raising poultry.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Personal protective equipment (PPE) - refers to protective clothing, helmets,
goggles, or other garment or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body
from injury by blunt impacts, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and
infection, for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, and in
sports, martial arts, combat, etc. Personal armor is combat-specialized
protective gear.

aid intervention. It generally consists of a series of simple and in some cases,
potentially life-saving techniques that an individual can be trained to perform
with minimal equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
The law requires that personal protective equipment be provided for use
at work must meet an appropriate standard and must be CE marked.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes the following:
PPE USES
Respiratory
Protective
Equipment
(RPE)
Protect the individual wearer
against the inhalation of
hazardous substances in the
workplace air.
Gloves
Cover the hands and wrists,
protecting the skin from contact
and droplet exposure.
Goggles and
Glasses
Protect the eyesfrom infectious
droplets and, in some cases,
from contact with infectious
agents.
Coverall
protects clothing and skin from
droplets and contact with
infectious material.

10. 10
Safety helmet
Protect the users head against
impact from objects falling from
above, by resisting and deflecting
blows to the head and hitting
fixed dangerous objects at the
workplace.
Footwear
Slip-resistant footwear works to
improve the wearer'sfriction
coefficient by improving the
interaction between the shoe
and the floor.
Wet weather
clothing
waterproof or water-resistant
coat worn to protect the body
from rain.
When selecting PPE, remember the following:
1. You need to consider and introduce other means of protection first.
Provide PPE only as a last resort after taking all other reasonably
practicable measures.
2. Engineering controls provide long-term solutions and are often cheaper
than providing, replacing, maintaining and storing PPE.
3. Controls at source protect all workers in the area, while PPE only
protects the wearer.
4. It is essential to involve your workers in the selection process, as they
often have detailed knowledge of the way they do tasks, which can help
you.
5. Is effective and gives adequate protection against hazard in the
workplace.
6. Is suitable and matches the wearer, the task and the working
environment, so it does not get in the way of the job being done or cause
any discomfort.
7. Does not introduce any additional risks, e.g. limits visibility.
8. Is CE marked to confirm that it has been made to an appropriate
standard.
9. Is compatible with any other PPE that has to be worn. Safety spectacles
may interfere with the fit of some respirators.
