SAFETY FIRST
FARM AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT INSTITUTE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
This symbol is used preceding all CAUTION (a general safety
reminder), WARNING (denotes a potential hazard), and DANGER
(denotes a potential injury) notices!
Most farm accidents, like industrial, home, and highway accidents are caused by the failure of some
individuals to observe simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason, farm
accidents, just as other types of accidents, can be prevented by recognising the causes of accidents and
doing something about them before an accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of farm equipment, there are many points
that cannot be completely safeguarded without interfering with accessibility and efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT
The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many thousand serious injuries each year.
That rule is
"NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IN
MOTION".
