Farm Safety

Safety on the Farm 

Keep yourself and other workers safe by following these guidelines: 

  • Look over work areas carefully for overhead power lines and utility poles. Be aware of overhead power lines and know what jobs will happen around them so that you can plan your work safely. 

  • Make sure you have ample clearance when moving large machinery. At least 10 feet away from power lines in all directions. Do this every year, as equipment sizes or soil conditions may change.

  • Use a spotter when operating equipment close to power lines.  

  • Store large equipment properly if near or under power lines. When planning new construction, factor in existing power lines. 

  • Be extra careful when working around trees and brush; they often make it difficult to see power lines. 

  • TRAIN ALL FARM WORKERS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR OVERHEAD POWER LINES. 

Stop by our office or contact us at 208-652-7431 or 800-632-5726 to receive stickers (see below) that remind your workers to watch out for electrical accidents on the farm.
