[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, has launched hands-on experiential training for farmers to prevent agricultural machinery safety accidents.

On the 19th, the county announced that from the 11th to the 26th, it will conduct safety accident prevention education focused on the increasing cases of agricultural machinery accidents over five sessions.

This training emphasizes safe and effective education by combining theory centered on accident cases with hands-on experience in operating and inspecting frequently used and accident-prone agricultural machinery such as cultivators and tillers.

Additionally, practical training on wearing protective gear to prevent musculoskeletal disorders commonly occurring in farming fields and diseases frequently contracted during farm work, such as Tsutsugamushi disease, will be conducted simultaneously.

Moreover, easy-to-understand booklets covering precautions for driving agricultural machinery on roads, traffic regulations, and pre- and post-use inspection items will be produced and distributed to farmers.

Kim Jojung, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We will do our best to protect farmers and enable stable agricultural production activities by preventing agricultural machinery safety accidents and farm work injuries through hands-on practical training.”

Meanwhile, the Agricultural Technology Center operates four agricultural machinery rental offices within Imsil and holds 837 rental agricultural machines of 22 types to help reduce farmers’ machinery purchase costs and management expenses.
