Namwon Agricultural Technology Center Urges Safety Rules Including Agricultural Machinery Inspection and Maintenance

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] The Jeonbuk Namwon Agricultural Technology Center has urged farmers renting agricultural machinery and those working in the fields to avoid rushing and to use the machinery safely by following safety guidelines.

According to the Namwon Agricultural Technology Center on the 18th, when using agricultural machinery, it is important to make a habit of inspection and maintenance, wear appropriate clothing such as safety shoes, and take a 10 to 20-minute break every two hours during farm work.

Additionally, only one operator should ride the agricultural machinery, and when crossing rice paddy ridges, drive slowly at a low speed in a perpendicular direction to prevent tipping over. Agricultural machinery used on roads must be equipped with lighting devices.

Furthermore, always handle agricultural machinery with a cautious attitude as if you are a beginner, strictly obey traffic laws when driving on roads, and absolutely avoid drunk driving, which can cause major accidents.

A representative from the Agricultural Technology Center stated, “Agricultural machinery can lead to serious accidents even with a momentary lapse of attention, so it is crucial to strictly follow safety rules to prevent accidents.”
