"Farm Accident Rescue"
- This handbook was written to familiarize emergency medical and rescue personnel with
some of the farm accidents they may encounter. Emergency personnel including ambulance
crews, rescue squads, and firefighter should be prepared for a variety of agricultural
accidents, such as machinery overturns or entanglements; storage facility entrapments; and
exposure to toxic gases, agricultural chemicals, and pesticides. Rescue procedures and
related injuries are discussed in detail. |

"First on the Scene"
- Learn to make the right decisions in the crucial time between discovery of an accident
and arrival of emergency medical personnel. This publication provides detailed discussions
and decision-and-action diagrams for specific farm accident scenarios involving machinery,
storage facilities, chemicals, and electrocution. Since such accidents often occur in
isolated areas where help is not immediately available, those arriving first on the scene
must understand the hazards and necessary reactions to enable a victim to survive. |
