... employees and family members to assess safety hazards, discuss potential accident situations, and outline emergency procedures.  Be especially alert to hazards that may affect children and the elderly.  Minimize hazards by careful selection of products you buy, by providing good maintenance of tools, buildings, and equipment, and establishing good housekeeping procedures.  Provide rollover protective structures, protective enclosures, or protective frames as appropriate for farm tractors.  Use seat belts while the tractor is in operation.  Make sure guards for farm equipment are put back on after maintenance to protect workers from moving machinery parts.  Review material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and labels that come with chemical products. Communicate information concerning hazards to all workers. Prevent pesticide poisonings and dermatitis caused by chemicals by ensuring that protective measures recommended in the MSDSs or labels are taken. Take the necessary precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos or hoppers.  Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide can be present in unventilated grain silos and manure pits in quantities sufficient to cause asphyxiation or explosion. Benefits The benefits of accident prevention include reduced work injury and illness costs such as worker compensation insurance premiums, lost production and medical costs. A safer more healthful workplace also improves worker production and morale and prevents human suffering. Summary OSHA is raising the level of awareness concerning the need for improved farm safety.

Look outside your immediate circle of influence for ideas and strategies when it comes to employee retention. CHANGE, LEARN, LEAD To what degree are you helping your employees manage change? To what degree are you helping them to become better learners? To what degree are you instilling them with a sense of leadership? According to Spencer Johnson's book Who Moved My Cheese?, ' today's workers fear change more than anything else. How do you embrace the notion of change and celebrate it as it occurs?

Some inspectors say that hazard communication training is not adequate for employees exposed to pesticides, germicides, and insecticides. Some inspectors feel that the general training of employees on the safety and health hazards of their job is not as effective as establishing specific employee training requirements. OSHA Inspection Format To prepare for an inspection, compliance officers become familiar with the history of the establishment, the operations and processes in use, and the standards most likely to apply. They gather all equipment necessary to test for health and safety hazards. When OSHA inspectors arrive, they display official credentials and ask to see the employer.
