The second segment of the District Agricultural Safety Display is a display backboard, title, safety script, pictures and examples of handouts. The handouts and other supplies are either available free or can be purchased from the suppliers listed in the resource directory. The tractor and equipment safety information can be used with the above operating rules. The display board can be used for other types of displays as the pictures and titles are removable. Proper handling and application of agricultural chemicals reduces hazards inherent with use.
Potential hazards are contamination of the handler, others in the area and groundwater.
The long-term effects of some chemicals are not entirely known, and it is best to use the chemicals with safety practices in mind. Handling livestock with the idea that they are to be kept safe reduces the injury potential to the handler. Animals are not always predictable in their actions, so accidents may happen. If the livestock are kept calm, there is less chance they will react to outside influences. Intact males always possess a greater potential for harming their handler than do other sexes.
