For Midterms Flashcards
✓The objective of this issuance is to protect every workingman against the dangers of injury,
Occupational safety and health standards (OSHS)
✓Purpose
“To help reduce the risk of injuries
and fatalities by providing practical
guidance on farm health and
safety…
”
OSHS
the primary goal of _______ is to
prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities
that may occur during the use,
maintenance, or repair of industrial
machines.
Machine safety
refers to the practices, procedures, and
technologies implemented to ensure the
well-being of individuals and the safe
operation of machinery and equipment.
Machine Safety
It is
less likely to occur if the operator checks
the conditions of the machine seasonally
and again before each day’s work.
Improper Maintenance of Machinery
When human judgement (or error) forces a
machine beyond its designed capability
limits, a machine operator is in a
hazardous position, because the machine
does not function efficiently.
Improper Use of Machinery
A structure on a farm tractor or self-
propelled machine that limits most
equipment roll-overs to 90 degrees
and protects the operator within the
frame of safety if he/she is wearing
the seatbelt.
Roll-over Protective
Structure (ROPs):
A shaft that allows transmission of power
from a farm tractor to a piece of
equipment attached to it.
Power Take-off (PTO):
Example of Between rotating and tangentially
moving parts
belt drives.
Example of Rotating parts
operating alone
couplings.
Example of Running nips between
parts rotating in
opposite directions
gear wheels.
This must be used only where an
immediate hazard exists.
➢Danger Sign
shall be used only to
warn against potential hazards or to
caution against unsafe practices.
Caution sign
signs reminds
workers to follow safety
procedures and safety policies.
Safety Instruction Signs
Raise the arm vertically overhead, palm to the
front, and rotate in large horizontal circles.
COME TO ME.
Place palms at ear level facing head and move laterally
inward to indicate remaining distance to go.
THIS FAR TO GO.
To signal this, move arm in a circle at waist
level as though you were cranking an engine.
START THE ENGINE.
To signal this extend
arm horizontally at your side, palm down, and wave
arm downward (45 degrees minimum) several times,
keeping arm straight. Don’t move arm above
horizontal.
SLOW IT DOWN. DECREASE SPEED.
Face the desired direction of movement; hold the arm
extended to the rear; then swing it overhead and forward
in the direction of desired movement until it is horizontal,
palm down.
MOVE OUT-TAKE OFF.
Point toward person(s), vehicles(s), unit(s), beckon by holding
the arm horizontally to the front, palm up, and motioning
toward the body.
MOVE FOWARD ME-FOLLOW ME.
Raise the hand to the shoulder, fist closed, thrust the fist
upward to the full extent of the a
SPEED IT UP- INCREASE SPEED.
Raise hand upward to the full extent of the arm, palm to the
front. Hold that position until the signal is understood.
STOP.
Make circular motion with either
hand at neck level.
STOP THE ENGINE.
Make circular motion with either
hand at head level or pointing upward
RAISE EQUIPMENT.
Make circular motion with either hand pointing to the
ground.
LOWER EQUIPMENT.

Administration
are used to describe the
standard use of colors for safety purposes in
the workplace.

How many Basic Color-Coding Requirements from
OSHA
4
What are the Basic Color-Coding Requirements from
OSHA
- Danger
- Warning
- Caution
- Biological Hazards
➢OSHA requires these signs to be red or predominantly
red.
Danger
signs are only used when there is an immediate
risk to the life and health of an employee
Danger
this category is for when there is a risk, but it is not as
severe or immediate as when danger is used.
Warning
This sign must use the color yellow.
Caution
This category is for alerting people to a
potential risk.
Caution
This sign must be color orange
Warning
the color to use is fluorescent orange or an
orange-red color.
Biological Hazards
Color used for hazards
related to striking, falling, slipping, tripping, pinch
points, and other similar hazards that are common
in many manufacturing or warehouse facilities
Yellow
this should be used when there is a
fire-related hazard in an area. What color
Red
This can also be
used to alert people to stop, which is essential for
indoor or outdoor driving and other situations. What color
Red
is a private nonprofit organization that
oversees the development of voluntary
consensus standards for products, services,
processes, systems, and personnel in the
United States.
ANSI
Color used to alert people of
dangerous parts on a machine or piece of
equipment. The danger could be from a
crush, cut, shock hazard, or any other
hazard that could physically harm people
or the facility.
Orange
Color used on any safety signs, labels,
or other objects to signify danger or to
alert people that they need to stop.
Red
Color used to alert people to the
presence of an emergency egress. This
provides directions for those needing to
escape areas during emergency events.
Green
Color Anywhere that caution needs
to be used,
Yellow
Color is used on signs and labels that provide information and suggestions
about a particular item or location. This information doesn’t necessarily have
to be safety related.
Blue
Color reserved for future use by ANSI.
Gray
Color reserved by ANSI for future use, but it has
become a de facto standard for radiation hazards through popular use.
Purple
used for guiding traffic or telling people which direction
to go. These colors can also be for housekeeping practices in the facility.
Black & White
Color for toxic and/or corrosive solutions.
Orange
Color used for any combustible liquids or gases.
Brown

➢ extremely hazardous when used
improperly.

…greatest hazards posed
by this tools result from misuse

with gasoline. The most serious hazard
associated with the use of fuel-powered
tools comes from fuel vapors that can burn
or explode and give off dangerous exhaust
fumes.
Liquid Fuel Tools
➢are powered by compressed air and include
chippers, drills, hammers, and sanders.
Pneumatic Tools
tools that operate like a
loaded gun and must be treated with
extreme caution. In fact, they are so
dangerous that they must be operated
only by specially trained employees.
