Keep pedestrians and vehicles apart if possible, ensure handbrakes are well maintained and follow \u2018safe stop\u2019 procedures (leave the gear in neutral, put on the handbrake and take out the key).<\/li>\n<li>Roofs are often fragile, even if they don\u2019t look it. Falls from roofs cause several deaths every year. Treat all roofs as fragile and use equipment such as harnesses, coverings and guard rails.<\/li>\n<li>Riding a quad bike is not the same as riding a motorbike. Make sure that you are trained in the correct techniques and wear a helmet, as most injuries are sustained to the head.<\/li>\n<li>Livestock can be unpredictable even when you know them well. Using the right equipment and following safe working practices is better than trusting in the good nature of a bull or a cow and calf.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget overhead power lines \u2013 many accidents happen because people drive underneath power lines, forgetting that they are working with equipment raised.<\/li>\n<li>Slurry, effluent and moist grain stores are confined spaces and can all contain high levels of toxic gases \u2013 sometimes causing the death of a rescuer as well. You should never enter them unless you have made sure it is safe. <a href=\"http:\/\/c1924912.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com\/image-22484.jpg\" download=\"http:\/\/c1924912.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com\/image-22484.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week is Farm Safety Week (16-20 July).
