No matter if you have lived on a farm your entire life or have recently moved to the country, farming implements are very dangerous and deadly if misused. In order to prevent accidents, The Farm Safety Handbook covers the basics of farm safety, including what not to do around the implement, the proper way to use the implement, what can happen if you misuse the implement, and what to do if an accident happens.

Child safety around the farm, how to deal with natural gases that occur on the farm, and how to safely work with animals are also included in this book. Case reports from various states detail accidents that have happened on farms to illustrate the results of inexperience and carelessness. Survivors of farm accidents also share their stories and explain how their lives have been altered. Many accidents can be prevented, and The Farm Safety Handbook can reduce your risk—as well as the risk to others—of accidents and injury.

Review:

Farm Industry News, November 2006

“Comprehensive information on how to adopt safe work practices in all areas of the farm.”

Toy Farmer, December 2006

“The details and comprehensive information in the Farm Safety Handbook, clearly illustrated throughout, is further brought home through harrowing accounts of real-life farm accidents.”

Ottumwa Courier (IA), Sept. 13, 2006

“Kubik’s book isn’t just a series of stories to make your hair stand on end. The dozens of stories will simply help you remember his hundreds of practical safety tips. The tips, suggestions and accident stories are well illustrated with photos and organized by chapters.”

www.tractor.com, January 2007

“A wealth of anecdotes from people who collect and restore Deer tractors. These accounts give model-specific detail on what to look for and common problems. This first-hand information from experienced collectors is the kind of useful information a mere book of data tables can never provide.”
