Mowers, combine heads, and forage choppers are just a few kinds of machinery that have cut points. Most machinery does not have to be moving for you to be injured. The edges are very sharp so they can cut grain, grass or hay. You can be injured by falling onto the combine header, hay mower or rotary mower. Grain augers are used to move small grains, like corn or soybeans, from gravity wagons to storage bins.
Augers are spiral shaped and their edges are very sharp.
Never stick your hand into a moving grain auger. The final type of machinery hazards are crush points . You can become injured when a part of your body is squashed between two pieces of moving equipment. Sometimes only one piece of equipment has to be moving. For example, you can be caught between the tractor and the piece of machinery you are helping to hitch.
