1.Farm Safety - Burning Trash
Most farms or agricultural complexes will have a significant amount of materials, commonly referred to as trash, that will need to be disposed of. Quite often this is done by way of burning it, as it is seen as the most affected and manageable way of disposal. It is also a task that is often given to younger or more inexperienced employees on a farm.
2.Farm Safety - National and Local Resources
The issue of health and safety on farms and agricultural businesses is one where many farmers and operatives often need to seek help. This can apply to practical issues, local or national legislation, as well as immediate emergencies. Running a farm or related industry can be quite an isolated business, and it is important that whoever is running it is aware of the help that is available, and makes use of the wide resources available, both in real-time and online
3.Farm Safety and the Use of Vehicles on Public Roads
Most farms and agricultural businesses use a wide variety of different types of vehicles, ranging from tractors to combine harvesters to ATVs to different types of construction equipment. In addition, many agricultural vehicles use different types of trailers to carry and transport loads both within the farm or agricultural business boundaries, which may well intersect with public highways as well. It is also quite common for people on farms to use different types of normal motor vehicles and trailers to transport other pieces of agricultural machinery across that own land and public highways as well.

These regulations will apply whether the vehicle or tractor is used on the farm or on a public highway. Farms use a variety of agricultural machinery, the most common being a different range of tractors, but also vehicles such as utility vehicles, combine harvesters, ATVs and quite often ride on mowers.
6.Farm Safety - Machinery Guarding and Confined Spaces
Most tractors, and agricultural machinery on a farm will use a wide variety of different implements and attachments to do the different types of work that the farm operates on. Tractors will continually change implements, often several times during a day, sometimes more if the weather conditions changed dramatically.

7.Farm Safety - Workers Compensation Laws
Workers compensation laws are designed to provide some degree of financial protection or help, in the event that any employee of a business and injured at work, no matter whose fault the injury or fatality may be. These laws were introduced over time, as part of measures to help protect workers against employers, who often did not give them the protection they needed in terms of workplace health and safety.

8.Farm Safety - Employing Young People
Whilst strict regulations had been brought in to stop the exploitation of children and young people in the workplace, farming has a fairly unique environment that does allow for them to do a different number of jobs, both on the land itself, and in certain conditions using tractors and other farm machinery. Many farmers do not like description of farming as a lifestyle, but in truth in many ways it is. A farm will normally be operated by family, and young family members will often be actively involved in the work itself
