Match the farm safety hazard with its description:

Kicks, bites, or diseases from animals = Physical harm from livestock Falls from high places = Injuries from falling off elevated surfaces Crushes from farm vehicles = Accidents involving machinery on the farm Exposure to chemicals = Risk from handling toxic substances

Match the at-risk group with the associated risks:

Children = 10% of farm fatalities Older farmers = Accidents caused by livestock or machinery due to limited capabilities Farmers = Responsible for ensuring farm safety standards All individuals on the farm = Should follow a risk assessment plan

Match the safety practice with its description:

Having a risk assessment plan = Identifying risks on the farm Supervising children at all times = Preventing farm fatalities Placing farm signage around highlighting hazards = Increasing awareness of dangers Locking away all chemicals from children = Preventing access to toxic substances

Match the farm safety concern with the precaution:

Slurry incidents = Marking slurry points and handling livestock carefully Back injuries = Ensuring safe behavior along with risk assessment Hearing loss from loud equipment = Turning off machinery when not in operation Falling objects = Identifying and securing objects that may fall

Match the physical factors with the risks for older farmers:

Strength, mobility, flexibility, eyesight, and hearing = Factors contributing to accidents for older farmers Mobility issues = Causing accidents with livestock or moving machinery Extra care when carrying out tasks = Required as farmers get older Retirement age = Not determined solely by age but by capability

Match the safety measure with its goal:

Marking slurry points and handling livestock carefully = Minimizing risks associated with specific hazards Placing farm signage around highlighting hazards = Increasing visibility of potential dangers Ensuring safe behavior along with risk assessment = Promoting a culture of safety on the farm Turning off machinery when not in operation = Preventing accidents due to machinery malfunctions

Match the recommended practice with its purpose:

All chemicals should be in a locked store away from children. = Preventing access to harmful substances. Farmers should have a risk assessment plan. = Identifying potential risks on the farm. Older farmers should take extra care when carrying out tasks. = Due to factors such as mobility issues and reduced capabilities. Farmers should supervise children at all times. = To prevent accidents and fatalities.

Match the farm safety concern with the potential consequence:

Falls from high places = Risk of serious injuries Exposure to chemicals = Health hazards and poisoning Crushes from farm vehicles = Fatal accidents Hearing loss from loud equipment = Permanent damage to hearing

Match the farm safety measure with its purpose:

Supervising children at all times on a farm = Preventing accidents involving children Locking all chemicals in a store away from children = Ensuring child safety and preventing poisoning incidents Having a risk assessment plan = Identifying and mitigating potential risks on the farm Placing farm signage around the farm to highlight hazards = Increasing awareness of potential dangers

Match the at-risk group with the associated vulnerability:

Children = Prone to accidents due to curiosity and lack of awareness Older farmers = Increased risk due to limited physical capabilities Farmers = Exposed to various hazards in the farm environment Workers in contact with slurry = At risk of slurry-related incidents

Match the farm safety practice with its recommended action:

Marking slurry points and handling livestock carefully = Preventing accidents related to slurry and livestock interactions Turning off machinery when not in operation = Reducing the risk of machinery-related accidents Carrying out safe behaviors in accordance with risk assessment plan = Ensuring a safe working environment based on identified risks Taking extra care when carrying out tasks as one gets older = Mitigating risks associated with decreased physical capabilities

Match the potential farm safety hazard with its preventative measure:

Falling objects = Wearing appropriate head protection Back injuries = Practicing proper lifting techniques Slurry incidents = Using caution and proper equipment near slurry points Kicks, bites, or diseases from animals = Proper animal handling and protective gear

Match the physical factors affecting older farmers with their impact on safety:

Strength limitations = Increased risk of accidents involving heavy objects Mobility issues = Higher chances of accidents involving moving machinery Eyesight decline = Greater risk of not seeing potential hazards Hearing loss = Reduced ability to hear warning signals or approaching vehicles

Match the recommended safety behavior with its justification:

Farmers having a risk assessment plan = Identifying and mitigating potential dangers proactively Older farmers taking extra care when carrying out tasks = Compensating for decreased physical abilities and reducing accident risk Children being supervised at all times on a farm = Preventing accidents due to lack of awareness or understanding of dangers Using proper protective gear when dealing with chemicals = Minimizing health risks associated with chemical exposure

Learn about the importance of farm safety and common causes of accidents on farms, such as animal kicks, falls, crushes, and exposure to chemicals. Understand the need for supervision of children and proper storage of chemicals on farms.
