Fire safety involves protocols to prevent, detect, and respond to fires, such as having fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and an evacuation plan. Regular drills and maintenance of equipment are essential for implementation.

Controlling noise and vibration on a farm protects workers' hearing and reduces fatigue. This is implemented by using machinery with noise-reducing features and providing hearing protection when necessary.

Electrical safety is vital to prevent electrocution and fires. This includes regular inspection of electrical systems, proper grounding of equipment, and the use of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).

Proper procedures ensure safe handling and storage of agricultural chemicals, minimizing the risk of spills, contamination, and health hazards. Training, labeling, and the use of PPE are required for implementation.

Ergonomics on the farm helps in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Implementing ergonomic tools, adjustable equipment, and frequent breaks into daily work practices

Machine guarding is essential to prevent farm workers from coming into direct contact with moving parts, reducing the risk of injury. Guards must be installed on all machinery with dangerous moving components.

Tractor safety is critical to avoid rollovers and accidents. It includes the use of roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and seatbelts, as well as ensuring tractors are operated by trained individuals.

Proper livestock handling avoids injury and stress to both animals and handlers. Training in animal behavior and proper handling techniques, as well as the use of appropriate equipment, are key aspects.

PPE is crucial to protect farm workers from exposure to harmful chemicals, materials, and machinery. It is implemented by providing appropriate gear such as gloves, boots, masks, and goggles according to the task being performed.

First aid training provides farm workers with the knowledge to respond to accidents and medical emergencies promptly. Regular training sessions and accessible first aid kits are how this protocol is implemented.

Confined space protocols protect workers from suffocation, toxic fumes, and explosions. These protocols include testing air quality, issuing entry permits, and providing rescue and communication equipment.
