Farm injuries high during harvest time Harvest is a peak time for farm injuries. Almost half of Ontario injuries occur dur- ing the harvest months of August, September, and Oct- ober. One reason is inexperienc- ed farm labor, says Larry Swinn, public relations coor- dinator, Farm Safety Assoc- iation. "Many harvest workers have never worked in agri- culture before. Others have worked only occasionally on =IVIVIERSON -- INSURANCE AGENCY LIMITED 193 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY 985-7306 The one you're looking for.

Many are unfamiliar with farm procedures, haz- ards, and machinery." The high accident rate is also caused by farmers who rush to complete their har- vesting. Poor weather con- ditions in September or October can also increase the risk of injury. The most common harvest accidents are slips and falls, back injuries, and machin- ery-related injuries. 'Machinery accidents oft- en occur because workers are unfamiliar with the equipment," says Mr. Swinn. : However, farmers can take firm steps to reduce farm injuries: the key is planning. "Well before harvest, hire your seasonal workers, and make sure your equipment is in good working order. That way, you'll avoid rushing at the last minute." Next, farmers should take the time to train all harvest 'help. Familiarize workers with all machinery, hazards, and general farm proce- dures. "Don't assume that a worker knows how to operate a piece of equipment just because you do," he says. Finally, strict supervision of harvest workers is essen- tial, even if they are well- trained. o- Last year, there werg 2,314 lost-time injuries on Ontario farms.
