Never allow children to be in a grain wagon. They can be easily covered up by grain being loaded or pulled under by grain being unloaded. Don't learn the hard way. Keep children out of and away from grain wagons and other transport vehicles at all times. Serious injuries and deaths occur to children on farms every year.
Most farms have numerous hazards that place adults and children at risk.
For every hazardous area on a farm there should be a barrier that protects children and visitors. Identify and create safe play areas for children. Today, inspect your farm for hazards and make necessary corrections to protect children who live on or visit the farm. The National Safety Council reminds farm families that just because your child is interested in farm work does not mean that they should be allowed to participate in farm tasks. It is important for your child to have both the physical and cognitive skills necessary to safely complete a farm task.
