Book Description

July 1, 2006 Country Workshop

No matter if you have lived on a farm your entire life or have recently moved to the country, farming implements are very dangerous and deadly if misused. In order to prevent accidents, The Farm Safety Handbook covers the basics of farm safety, including what not to do around the implement, the proper way to use the implement, what can happen if you misuse the implement, and what to do if an accident happens.

Child safety around the farm, how to deal with natural gases that occur on the farm, and how to safely work with animals are also included in this book. Case reports from various states detail accidents that have happened on farms to illustrate the results of inexperience and carelessness. Survivors of farm accidents also share their stories and explain how their lives have been altered. Many accidents can be prevented, and The Farm Safety Handbook can reduce your risk—as well as the risk to others—of accidents and injury.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Farm Industry News, November 2006

“Comprehensive information on how to adopt safe work practices in all areas of the farm.”



Toy Farmer, December 2006

“The details and comprehensive information in the Farm Safety Handbook, clearly illustrated throughout, is further brought home through harrowing accounts of real-life farm accidents.”

                                                                                                              

Ottumwa Courier (IA), Sept. 13, 2006

“Kubik’s book isn’t just a series of stories to make your hair stand on end. The dozens of stories will simply help you remember his hundreds of practical safety tips. The tips, suggestions and accident stories are well illustrated with photos and organized by chapters.”



www.tractor.com, January 2007

“A wealth of anecdotes from people who collect and restore Deer tractors. These accounts give model-specific detail on what to look for and common problems. This first-hand information from experienced collectors is the kind of useful information a mere book of data tables can never provide.”

This review is from: Farm Safety Handbook (Country Workshop) (Paperback)
Safety may be a boring subject but let's face it, farm accidents do happen and most of them are avoidable.
This book is full of color pictures so while the subject may be boring the reading is not the typically redundant dry text that you find in most owners' manuals.
While most owners' manuals seem to have competing agendas, either put you to sleep or make you go completely insane from reading useless information like don't use your toaster while taking a shower (in three or more languages no less) Stuff that makes you quit reading before you get to the important stuff just so you don't go completely insane. You really can read this book without falling asleep.
This book is especially good for teaching youngsters as talking may not be as descriptive as a photograph which gets the point across quickly.
You may learn something that will prevent an accident, saving yourself or others from injury or even death.
If you're new to farming and you don't buy this book at least borrow it.
