AEX 192.2.24Agricultural Safety Program, 590 Woody Hayes Drive, Columbus, OH 43210Introduction to Safety in Landscaping and Horticulture Servicesfor Trainers and SupervisorsObjective: Explain why safety training is important and how it can reduce accidents.Trainer’s NoteWhat makes safety important? Who is responsible for safety? What are some general safetytips? For this module: Review the basic information about safety. Provide some actual examples of safety hazards and health risks. Ask workers to sharetheir own experiences. Present and discuss general safety tips. Review the important points. Have workers take the True/False quiz to check their learning.BackgroundIn the United States, the green industries rank high in work-related fatalities. Many accidents involve sometype of machinery or equipment. Most accidents are predictable and preventable. Illnesses and health problemscan also occur easily — green industry work involves exposure to weather and natural hazards and dangerouschemicals. Workers in the green industries must learn and practice safe working habits.Accidents Cost Time and MoneyAccidents cause injuries and, sometimes, even death. They involve intangible losses. You will lose timewhile you recover. Medical and therapy bills will add up. Worst of all, you might not be able to work as you didbefore the accident. Safety is too expensive not to be taken seriously. Accident costs reduce the profit margin. Inthe worst cases, accidents cost lives.Why Risk Your Health?A bee sting is unpleasant at least, and it can be fatal. Pesticides and caustic chemicals can cause long-term,serious health problems. Dust and mold can cause chronic lung problems. The hot summer sun can cause sunstroke and heat exhaustion, and winter can cause frostbite. How can you avoid those health risks?

Safety Is Everyone’s ResponsibilityAEX 192.2.24It is up to workers in the green industries to use safe working practices. All workers can contribute to eachother’s safety. Remember — machinery operators aren’t the only ones who get hurt in accidents.General Tips for a Safe Working Environment A good safety program starts with a safety status assessment. Make safety everyone's concern. This includes family, workers, visitors, and you. Be aware of what you are doing and your surroundings. Most injuries happen during routine, everydaytasks. Sometimes, you cannot handle a task alone. If you can’t, ask for help. Take short rest breaks. Don't over-exert yourself — don’t get so tired you get careless. Get plenty of sleep. Stay away from equipment if you are angry. Wait a little while until you cool down. Train new equipment operators before they work on their own. Read the operator's manual for all equipment. Wear the proper Personal Protection Equipment for everyday tasks and for specific jobs. You may needprotective footwear with ankle support. You may also need close-fitting clothing.For more information, refer to the other modules in this series, Tailgate Safety Training for Landscaping andHorticultural Services.

AEX 192.2.01Agricultural Safety Program, 590 Woody Hayes Drive, Columbus, OH 43210Arc Welding Safety for Trainers and SupervisorsObjective: Using safe arc welding practices.Trainer’s NoteIt is important to weld using safety precautions. There are many dangers related to welding.For this module: Review the information below on the hazards of arc welding and safety practices toavoid them. Demonstrate how to use Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). Have workers try on personal protection equipment. Review the important points. Have workers take the True/False quiz to check their learning.BackgroundArc welding includes shielded metal-arc, gas-shielded, and resistance welding. Arc welding equipment varies in size and type, so it is important to read and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.General Arc Welding Safety Read all warning labels and instruction manuals, especially if this is the first time you’re using the equipment. Proper eye protection is mandatory. Before starting any welding, make a complete inspection of the welder. Remove all potential fire hazards from the welding area. Always have a fire extinguisher ready. Equip welding machines with power disconnect switches for quick shut off. Disconnect the power to the machine before making repairs. Proper grounding of welding machines is essential. Electrode holders should not be used if they have: Loose cable connections Defective jaws Poor insulation Remove rods when the job is finished. Do not strike an arc if someone without proper eye protection is nearby.

Personal Protection EquipmentAEX 192.2.01 Infrared radiation can burn your retinas. It can also cause cataracts. Protect your eyes and face with awelding helmet properly fitted and with the proper grade of filter plate. Protect your body from welding spatter and arc flash with protective clothing such as: Woolen clothingFlameproof jacketFlameproof apronGlovesProperly fitted clothing — not frayed or wornLong-sleeve shirtsStraight-legged trousers that cover shoesFire resistant cape or shoulder covers for overhead work Check protective clothing before each use to make sure it is in good condition. Keep clothes free of grease and oil.Proper VentilationSometimes workers weld in confined areas with barriers to air movement. Be sure there is adequate ventilation available. Natural drafts, fans, and positioning of the head can help keep fumes away from the welder’sface.When Is Natural Ventilation Sufficient? If the room or welding area contains at least 10,000 cubic feet for each welder.If the ceiling height is not less than 16 feet.If partitions, equipment, or other structural barriers do not block cross ventilation.If welding is not done in a confined space.If requirements for natural ventilation are not met, then the area needs to be mechanically ventilated. Ventilation must exhaust at least 2,000 cubic feet per minute of air for each welder, except: Where local exhaust hoods or booths are used. Where air-line respirators are used.Avoiding Electrical ShockElectrical shock can kill. To prevent electrical shock: Use well insulated electrode holders and cables.The electrode holder, or stinger, should be in good condition with no cracks or missing insulation.Never leave the welding electrode in the electrode holder, or stinger, when not attending the work.Make sure welding cables are dry and free of grease and oil.Keep welding cables away from power supply cables.Wear dry hole-free gloves.Clothing should also be dry.Insulate the welder from the ground by using dry insulation, such as a rubber mat or dry wood boards.Ground frames of welding units.Never change electrodes with bare hands or wet gloves.

Review These Important Points AEX 192.2.01Proper personal protective equipment is important.Electrical shock can be deadly.If ventilation is not sufficient, the welding area should be mechanically ventilated.Always have a fire extinguisher ready for immediate use.About These ModulesThe author team for the training modules in the landscape and horticultural tailgate training series includesDee Jepsen, Program Director, Agricultural Safety and Health, Ohio State University Extension; MichaelWonacott, Research Specialist, Vocational Education; Peter Ling, Greenhouse Specialist; and Thomas Bean,Agricultural Safety Specialist.

AEX 192.2.02Agricultural Safety Program, 590 Woody Hayes Drive, Columbus, OH 43210Battery Safety for Trainers and SupervisorsObjective: Use and store batteries safely.Trainer’s NoteBatteries produce power on demand — and accidents on occasion. For this module: Discuss the information below on different types of batteries.Ask workers to identify the battery types used in your operation.Show examples of the types of batteries you use and their features.Demonstrate how to connect a battery safely.Have workers practice connections as you supervise closely.Review the important points.Have workers take the True/False quiz to check their learning.BackgroundLead-acid storage batteries are chemical storage devices that produce power. The typical battery has a number of cells with layers of lead plates in sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid contacts the lead plate inside the cell,energy is produced. The main battery terminals are the positive and negative posts. The battery may also have

AEX 192.2.02vent caps on top. These permit the checking and maintenance of water and acid levels. They also provide a ventfor the escape of gases formed when the battery charges.Types of BatteriesCar-starting batteries start cars and trucks quickly at minimum weight, size, and cost. These batteries havelead sponges rather than sturdy lead plates. These thin sponges are delicate and start to break down after lessthan 100 cycles.Deep-cycle batteries are compact and inexpensive. They should last for 200 to 400 charge-discharge cycles.These storage batteries are packaged in the same small automotive case and contain somewhat thicker plates oflead. Avoid acid spills by placing the battery in an upright and level position.Gel-cell batteries are used in aircraft and are portable. They are usually small and work in any position.They have sealed gel cells to prevent acid vapors and spills. If charged or discharged too rapidly, gas will buildup, causing the battery case to rupture. Besides possible rupture, storage at temperatures above 78ºF acceleratesself-discharge and shortens the battery’s life. This battery is more expensive but safer and cleaner.Safety Tips for Working With Batteries Keep sparks and flames away from the battery. Inspect the battery in natural light. Remove wristwatches, which might make electrical contact and create sparks. Wear gloves and a chemical apron when handling lead acid batteries. Sulfuric acid can cause painfulburns that damage tissue. Battery surfaces often have a film of acid mist and lead that has leached out ofthe battery. Wear chemical splash goggles or a face shield with splash protection when inspecting or cleaning the battery. For more details, see the Tailgate Safety Training module Personal Eye Protection. If acid does enter the eye, immediately flush with running water for at least 30 minutes. See a doctor assoon as possible. If acid contacts the skin, wash the affected area immediately with plenty of water. Avoid chemical burns by not rubbing eyes or skin while working with the battery. Wash your hands immediately after completing the job. Clean up all acid spills and flush clothing with a water and baking soda solution. Vent caps should be tight and level. Placing a damp cloth over vent caps when charging may act as aflame arrester. Keep batteries away from children. Smoking or open flames should never be present in a battery area, and ventilation is important. Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Storage temperature should be between 80ºF and 32ºF. Always make the negative/ground connection first, then the live connection. A match, incorrect connection of battery cables, or careless use of tools around the battery can set offexplosive gases. Use proper lifting techniques when moving batteries. Batteries are small but heavy and awkward to lift.For more information, see the Tailgate Safety Training module Preventing Lifting and Over-Exertion Injuries.Review These Important Points There are different types of batteries for different jobs.Smoking or an open flame should be kept away from batteries.Protect the eyes, face, and body from battery acid.Live connection directly to the battery should not be made.

AEX 192.2.03Agricultural Safety Program, 590 Woody Hayes Drive, Columbus, OH 43210Bee, Wasp, Hornet, and Yellow Jacket Stingsfor Trainers and SupervisorsObjective: Identify general tips to prevent and treat bee, wasp, hornet, and yellow jacketstings.Trainer’s NoteBees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can be a minor nuisance — or a serious danger.For this module: Review the information on stings, reactions to stings, and how to prevent them.Ask workers to describe their own reactions to stings.Review the important points.Have workers take the True/False test to check their learning.BackgroundBetween one and two million people in the United State are very allergic to stinging insect venom. Everyyear 90 to 100 people die from sting reactions. Many more deaths may happen, mistakenly diagnosed as heartattacks or sunstrokes or attributed to other causes. More people die yearly from the effects of insect venom thanfrom spider bites.Stinging insects can present an occupational health problem, mainly for sensitive workers. Usually, dangeroccurs when workers disturb nests of stinging insects such as bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets.Mild ReactionsMost people have a mild reaction to bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket stings: ItchIrritationRednessSwelling

AEX 192.2.03For a mild reaction, you can relieve symptoms with ice, baking soda, meat tenderizer, 1% to 2.5% ammoniasolution, topical steroids, or oral steroids.AnaphylaxisThe most severe allergic reactions to stings can be fatal. These reactions, called anaphylaxis, can include lifethreatening symptoms: Breathing problemsSwelling of the lips or throatFaintnessConfusionRapid heartbeatHivesFor any severe allergic reaction, seek emergency medical help immediately. Reaction may occur in a fewminutes; death often occurs within 30 minutes.Preventing StingsWorkers can take some simple steps to prevent stings, both in the open outdoors and in greenhouses. Use a commercially available stinging insect control aerosol to destroy nests. It can shoot a high-volumespray stream 15 to 20 feet. Do not stand directly under an overhead nest you are trying to destroy. If possible, hire a professionalexterminator to remove a nest. Never try to burn or flood a nest with water since this will only make stinging insects angry. Be careful not to mow over a nest in the ground or disturb a nest in a tree or the eaves of the home. Never strike or swing at a wasp or a bee. Never trap a wasp or a bee against your body. That can cause the insect to sting. Wear a hat and closed shoes (not sandals). Light-colored cotton clothing is best. Avoid white or bright-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Never wear wool around stinging insects because wool retains some degree of animal odor even afterextensive processing. Avoid heavy, flowery perfumes, colognes, or scents. They may attract bees. Run away from bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets. They are not very fast, and you can usually outrunthem. Avoid sweet beverages, which can attract stinging insects. Do not drink out of a can. Bees might be inside the can where you cannot see them.Review These Important Points Be careful not to mow over a nest in the ground nor disturb a nest in a tree or the eaves of the home. The most severe allergic reactions to stings can be life threatening. Avoid disturbing nest of bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets.

AEX 192.2.04Agricultural Safety Program, 590 Woody Hayes Drive, Columbus, OH 43210Bucket Truck and Aerial Lifts for Trainers and SupervisorsObjective: Use bucket trucks and aerial lifts safely.Trainer’s NoteBucket trucks and aerial lifts can make it easy to work in trees, but they can also be dangerous. For this module: Review the information below on hazards and safety practices.Ask workers to give their own examples of risks of bucket trucks and aerial lifts.Demonstrate safe practices and supervise workers closely as they practice safe operation.Review the important points.Have workers take the True/False quiz to check their learning.BackgroundAccording to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) statistics, some 30 workers die eachyear from using aerial lifts. More than half of those involve bucket trucks. Most of the others involve aerial lifts.A tree can strike the bucket and throw the worker out. Power lines might touch the bucket or lift and electrocutethe worker.For more details on related safe practices, refer to these Tailgate Safety Training modules: Preventing Falls From Trees Overhead Electrical Hazards Struck-By Accidents Tree Pruning, Trimming, and Felling SafetyBucket Trucks and Aerial Lift Hazards Tip-overs Falls Electrocution
