Safety notes and warnings draw attention to potential machine hazards and how to minimize risks. Guards and following safety procedures help reduce injuries. Personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, protective clothing, respirators, and eye/foot protection can significantly reduce pesticide exposure risks for farmers and is required for certain chemicals. PPE must be carefully selected, fitted, and worn properly to be effective as intended in protecting workers handling hazardous materials.

2. Safety notes and warnings

3. Safety notes and warnings
- draw the operator's attention to potential hazards
associated with the use, movement, transport,
cleaning, clearing blockages and maintenance of the
machine.

4. GUARDS

5. GUARDS
-this mean keeping all the guards, shields and
awarness of what you are doing and where you
are going, with this it can reduce the risk of such
injuries.

6. It is important also to state the precautions to be
taken to minimize or avoid any hazards.
What is the importants of Safety notes and
warnings?

7. Safety signs

8. Safety signs
• Text that explains the meaning of a safety sign.
• A safety sign may appear in more than one section of the
manual.
Information about safety signs includes:
location of each safety sign.
keep safety signs clear and visible.
replace safety signs.
installed safety sign when repair.
how to obtain replacement.

9. Symbol
• Visually perceptible figure used to transmit
information independent of language. It may
be produced by drawing, printing or other
means.

10. 7 Important Reminder
1. Reverse symbol for transmission shift pattern.
2. Replace block with appropriate machine symbol correctly
oriented to arrow.
3. Control Lever Operating Direction symbol may be used in
conjunction with other symbols to designate lever motion.

11. 4. Captions within the symbols are for information, and
should not be reproduced with the symbol.
5. Framed area of this symbol may be solid.
6. It is permissible to separate the left and right arrows.
7. Symbol for use at controls and not at temperature
measurements.

17. Symbol
• Letters and numerals may be used as symbols.
COLORS
When used on illuminated displays:
a. red : failure or serious malfunction; requires immediate
attention;

c. green : normal operating condition.

18. Specific functions such as
a. blue : headlight main- / high- beam display;

c. green : turn signal display.
Symbols for the heating and/or cooling systems:
• Red indicate hot
• Blue indicate cold

19. Generator Light

20. Fuel level

21. Engine Oil Pressure

22. Water Temperature

23. Transmission Oil Temperature

24. Engine R.P.M

25. PROTECTIVE OUTFITS AND DEVICES

26. PROTECTIVE OUTFITS AND DEVICES
• Agriculture thus becomes one of the most hazardous of
all sectors.
• Many agricultural workers suffer occupational accidents
and ill health each year.
• Contributory causes of such ill health are exposure to dust
and other organic substances such as pesticides and
fertilizers, chemicals, and infectious agents.

27. Hazard
• Pesticides are the chemicals of greatest concern in regard
to health and safety in agriculture.
Who is affected?
-Farmers who mix and load pesticides.
-Farmers who applied it on the fields.

28. Hazard within the field
• On open field, when wind direction changes and directs
the spray back at the operator.
• Applicators inside greenhouses can be exposed to spray
due to air movement caused by ventilation systems.
• Leaks at connection points, pesticide mixture dripping on
to skin or clothing direct contact.
• Fertilizers that are a toxic hazard for workers can cause
skin irritation and potentially serious respiratory effects

29. Health effects
• Acute health effects
- Pesticides produce acute health effects when signs and
symptoms of poisoning occur shortly after exposure,
normally within 24 hours.
• Chronic health effects
- Cancers such as leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and
multiple myeloma have been associated with occupational
exposures to pesticides, particularly herbicides.
-Lung cancer due to pesticide exposure.

30. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Wearing PPE can significantly reduce the
potential for dermal, inhalation, eye, and
oral exposure, and thereby significantly
reduce the chances of a pesticide
poisoning.

31. Respiratory protective equipment (RPE)
• Respirators protect from breathing pesticide-contaminated
air. Various pesticide formulations require different types
of respirators.
• RPE must be selected in compliance with national laws or
national or international standards.
NOTE: The label will provide specific instructions if
required, and if so, which type.

32. Commonly available RPE

34. Eye and face protection
• Protective eyewear can prevent eye injuries in more than
90 percent of cases. Eye protection should always be
worn where there is potential for injury to the eyes or face
from small particles, toxic chemicals, flying particles, large
objects, thermal or radiation hazards, and lasers.
Note: According to the types and extent of hazards,
different PPE should be worn.

35. Safety Glasses save eye from exploding grinder
disc..

37. Chemical resistant clothing
• The work clothes should be made of sturdy material and
must be free of holes and tears. Shirt collars should be
fastened completely to protect the lower part of the neck.
The tighter the fabric weave, the better the protection.

38. No resistant clothing
• Ordinary shirts, pants,
shoes, and other work
clothes are usually not
considered PPE, even
though pesticide labels
often indicate that specific
items of work clothing
should be worn during
certain activities.

39. Waterproof Clothing
• Waterproof (liquid-proof)
material keeps water-
soluble materials out, but it
may not necessarily keep
out oil solvent-based
products. Waterproof
materials include items
made of plastic or rubber.

40. Hearing protection
• Most hearing protection
devices have a noise
reduction rating (NRR) that
indicates the amount of
protection provided.
Note: In general, look for
NRR of 25 or greater.

41. Hearing protection

43. Foot protection
• Pesticide handlers may get pesticides on their feet. Shoes
and socks are often sufficient to protect your feet during
many handling activities.
• The product labels for those pesticides require wearing
waterproof or chemical-resistant footwear, which could
mean shoe covers or boots
• Canvas and leather shoes offer insufficient protection for
the same reasons gloves made of these materials are not
protective.

44. Hand Protection
• Product labels require use of waterproof or chemical-
resistant gloves during handling and mixing. Gloves
should be worn any time pesticides may contact hands,
such as when working around contaminated equipment or
surfaces.
• Canvas and leather gloves will not protect against
exposure to pesticides as these materials absorb
pesticide easily and cannot be decontaminated.

45. PPE Importance
• If it isn’t worn – it won’t protect
• PPE not only helps protect people but also improves
productivity.
• Farmers and ranchers can benefit from using the
appropriate protective equipment.
• Protective equipment must be carefully selected,
Why?

46. because...
-Test it fit for the protective equipment to be sure of a proper
and comfortable fit. If it isn’t comfortable – it won’t be
worn; if it isn’t worn -it won’t protect.
Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to
protect workers.
