Hay Bales – a resource from AFIA

There are seven key areas of risk in working with hay, and these are:

  • Hay production: baling
  • Loading and unloading hay bales
  • Transporting hay
  • Working at heights
  • Working around suspended loads
  • Manual handling
  • Working around powerlines

 

By recognising these risks it is easier to prevent accidents occurring on your farm.
