Staying Safe on the Farm with Jaxon


Book Description

This book was made in honor of Jaxon Liam Boomsma. In 2017, Jaxon was tragically killed in a farming accident when he was just seven years old. He loved nothing more than being on the farm. His bubbly personality and toothless smile will never be forgotten. To honor Jaxon, our family and the JLB Mission 23 Committee set up a memorial fund called the Jaxon Boomsma Memorial Fund. The JLB Mission 23 Committee was formed to help keep Jaxon’s smile alive, and consists of family and friends in the Yankton community. The Jaxon Boomsma Memorial Fund has helped enhance community parks and farm safety programs. We have also set up an annual scholarship for a Yankton High School senior who will study in an agricultural related field. Our main goal is to promote farm safety and keep kids safe. As a family we wanted to be able to keep Jaxon’s smile alive by helping make the places he loved safer and more beautiful for other kids. We also want to prevent more accidents from taking young lives too soon. To help donate or follow our journey, you can follow our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jaxonboomsma23/




Family Farming Safety - Keeping Kids Safe on the Farm


Book Description

Family Farming Safety - Keeping Kids Safe on the Farm Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Why is Farm Safety for Kids Such an Issue Chapter 2: Children and Livestock Chapter 3: Children and Farm Machinery Chapter 4: Children and Grains and Crops Chapter 5: Overlooked Farm Hazards Chapter 6: Making Safety Fun Conclusion Author Bio Introduction According to OSHA, over 300 children die each year from injuries sustained on a farm, with the overwhelming majority of these accidents being children who live on these farms. http: //ehs.okstate.edu/training/oshafarm.htm Additionally, statistics from a number of sources all find that the number of injuries to children who live/work on family farms is over 20,000 per year. It would be inaccurate to say that every single one of these deaths could have been prevented if better safety practices would have been in place, it is completely accurate to say that more than half of the children that die as a result of farm accidents are avoidable. Likewise, accidents can happen even when stringent safety measures are in place, but a significant number of them could be eliminated with a few more lessons and rules in farm safety. This book is meant to serve as both a reminder and as an educational resource for farm families with children and grandchildren as well as families whose children visit and/or work on a farm. NOTE: Accidents happen-both non-serious and tragic accidents no one can see coming and those that are completely unavoidable despite our best efforts. This book is not meant as a guarantee against life, is not intended to serve as legal counsel and is not meant to serve as an endorsement for any product brand.

National Safety Tractor and Machinery Operation Program Student Manual


Book Description

The need for current and better quality training materials was cited by both certification program instructors and coordinators. In recognition of these shortcomings, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded a major project with Penn State University, The Ohio State University, and the National Safety Council to develop a National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program (NSTMOP). The result is the NSTMOP Student Manual. This manual, including the task sheets, is the primary curriculum resource developed and designed to be used in a variety of instructional settings. The task sheets are divided into 6 sections: introduction; safety basics; agricultural hazards; the tractor; connecting and using implements with the tractor; and material handling (skid steers, ATV, and utility vehicles). There are a total of 77 task sheets, 48 are identified as core topics. Also included are a skills and driving test layout map and evaluation forms.
