Thinking farm safety

Thinking farm safety. I’m Greg Martin. Washington Ag Today is next.
Washington Ag Today June 30, 2011 June has been the National Safety Council’s National Safety Month. Greg Embury, Vic-President of Sales and Marketing for Kubota, says that with the summer months come more kids around the farm. He says just because school is out doesn’t mean the lesson’s stop. Parents play an important role in safety education.
Embury: “We need to talk about this. We need to talk about safety first particularly around equipment. Tell them to stop, look, and listen. See where they are. Be aware of their surroundings. Number one it is not safe to ride on equipment. It is designed for one operator and an adult. We also have a saying here be a safety first sheriff and encourage all operators to use seatbelts and use the rollover protection structure as it is meant to be used.” 23
Embury says a great resource that can be used by parents and kids is Kubota.com where you will find valueable safety tips.
