When loading bales manually, be sure that the driver does not start and stop suddenly. This can throw workers off the wagon or truck. Make sureworkers do not ride on top of the stack. They could fall off and be run over. Instruct workers to be aware of the stack condition and where fellow workers are throwing the bales.
Bales falling off the stack can strike a worker and result in a serious injury.
Block or secure machines such as headers, bars, stackers, when working on them. Block the wheels too. This will keep the machine from falling or rolling on workers as it is being repaired. Many machines have hydraulic systems that can potentially cause serious injury if not kept in good repair and handled properly. Keep fluid clean and check often for damage to the system.
