 National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) (April 2012)
Just a friendly reminder.
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), farmers who use forage wagons are at risk for severe injury, amputation, or death.
NIOSH published an article in the Centers for Disease Control's Weekly Report (MMWR) detailing the hazards associated with forage wagons and outlining prevention measures.
As you know, the agriculture industry is one of the most dangerous in the country and working with farming equipment can be extremely hazardous.
However, the hazards associated with forage wagons aren't talked about often enoiugh. Forage wagons are used to transport and unload feed into storage or feed areas.
They are typically used on farms that raise large animals and grow their own feed. The following case describes hazards associated with forage wagon use.
On October 1, 1993, a farmer was using a forage wagon to unload corn silage into a silo blower. To unload the silage, the farmer used a tractor to pull his forage wagon next to his silo blower, which was attached to another tractor.
To reach the speed control lever on the forage wagon, he stepped over the running power take-off (PTO) driveline which connected his tractor to the wagon. As he stepped, his pants became entangled around the unprotected PTO driveline.
The victim suffered severe injuries, including amputation and deep tissue damage requiring hospitalization and extensive grafting.
He was hospitalized for two weeks and unable to work for one month.
"These are tragic injuries," said NIOSH Director, Dr. Linda Rosenstock. "We must ensure that the farming community and equipment manufacturers and dealers are aware of the hazards and know how to prevent them." |
 Marcia Dial, CEO is happy to announce the addition of a new physician to Memphis Medical Services and to Scotland County Hospital.
