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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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. Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers

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 Signup and view all the answers
