9. COMMON CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
1. People
2. Equipment
3. Material
4. Environment

10. WORKERS CONTRIBUTION TO
ACCIDENTS
 Taking short cuts
 Lack of concentration i.e. working+ thinking personal problem+ talking = accidents
 Coming to work drunk or with hang over
 Poor communication skills, friction between people of same level, selfishness etc.
 Social problems resulting in stress
 Negligence and carelessness – not following safety rules
 Inadequate induction

11. EQUIPMENT CONTRIBUTION TO
ACCIDENTS
Poor services given to machine
Overexploitation/loading of equipment's
Poor skills in using machines
No regular inspection on machines which needs to be checked
Working on noise areas
Lack of concentration i.e. driving + texting on a mobile phone
Inadequate protection when using machines
Competition in the operation of machines

12. COMPETITION WITH OTHER
MACHINES USERS

13. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS
1. Poor weather conditions
- Accidents are more prevalent on poor weather conditions i.e. drizzle, fog, mist
causes poor visibility and that YOU may be at risk
2. Poor road signs, design and mapping
- Puts new employees at risk
3. Natural disasters
- These are situations beyond management’s and employee’s control i.e. floods ,
lightning, tree falling and rock falling. Management can only plan to reduce the
impact

14. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

17. HOT WEATHER AND HEAT STRESS
MANAGEMENT
• Under hot weather conditions one should drink a minimum of 4 to 5 litres
per 8 hours. To regulate body systems and temperatures.
• Potable Water shall be provided in bulk tanks at every harvesting base for
easy access

18. MANAGEMENT OF SNAKE BITES
What are snake bites?
• Snakes bite either to capture prey or in
self-defence. Snakes that are
poisonous voluntarily emit venom
when they bite. Because snakes can
control the amount of venom they
discharge, some bites are "dry" and
only 50% - 70% of venomous snake
bites result in envenoming, or
poisoning.

19. SNAKE BITE MANAGEMENT AND
TREATMENT
• It is best to treat all snake bites
as a medical emergency
unless one is certain the bite
came from a non-venomous
snake. Any delay in treatment
following the bite of a
venomous snake could result
in death or serious injury.

20. DIFFERENT SPECIES OF VENOMOUS SNAKES CARRY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF VENOM. IN GENERAL, THE
MAJOR CATEGORIES OF VENOM ARE:
• Cytotoxins: Cause swelling and
tissue damage in the area of the
bite.
• Haemorrhagins: Cause disruption
to blood vessels.
• Anti-clotting agents: Prevent the
blood from clotting.
• Neurotoxins: Cause paralysis or
other damage to the nervous
system.
• Myotoxins: Break down muscles.

21. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SNAKE BITES?
• Two puncture wounds at the site of the bite. Other teeth marks may also be present.
• A sharp, throbbing pain at the site of the bite. However, pain is not always a symptom.
For example, a bite from a coral snake can be nearly painless at first but still deadly.
• Redness, swelling and damaged tissue in the area of the bite
• Abnormal blood clotting and bleeding
• Low blood pressure and shock
• Nausea and vomiting
• Difficulty breathing, or in serious cases not being able to breathe at all
• Blurred vision
• Increased production of saliva
• Heavy sweating
• Numb feeling in the face or limbs

22. HOW ARE SNAKE BITES TREATED?
• Seek medical attention as quickly as possible.
• Ask for first aid treatment:
• Remove any jewellery or watches, as these could cut into the skin if swelling
occurs.
• Keep the area of the bite below the level of the heart in order to slow the
spread of venom through the bloodstream.
• Remain still and calm. Moving around will make venom spread faster through
the body.
• Cover the bite with a clean, loose-fitting, dry bandage.
• The main goal is to administer the correct anti-venom as soon as possible.
Knowing the size, colour and shape of the snake can help determine the best
treatment for a particular bite.

23. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF DO
NOTS:
• Do not pick up the snake or try to wrap it up or kill it, as this will increase
the chance of getting another bite. Even a dead snake is able to bite.
• Do not apply a tourniquet.
• Do not cut across the site of the bite marks.
• Do not try to suck out the venom.
• Do not apply ice.
• Do not immerse the wounded area in water.
• Do not drink alcohol.
• Do not drink beverages with caffeine.

24. HOW CAN SNAKE BITES BE PREVENTED?
• Be careful about where hands and feet are placed. For example, avoid
reaching into spaces, holes, or underneath objects without first being sure a
snake is not hiding underneath.
• Do not lie down or sit down in areas where snakes might be located.
• Do not attempt to capture, handle, or keep venomous snakes.
• Camp only in areas away from swamps, streams, dense foliage, and other
places that snakes are known to inhabit.
• Slowly back away from and avoid touching any snake that is encountered.

25. TOILETS AND SANITATION
• In fields we don’t have toilets however we shall use the ones at the
mill site.
• When using the toilet always leave the toilet in a condition that the
next person is going to enjoy the same conditions.
• Report defects as soon as you notice
