Farm Safety by Matthew


Farms can be fun, but they're dangerous too.
  Kids who live on farms really need to know what it takes to be safe. They probably help out on the farm and need to know the safety rules that can prevent injuries.According to the National Safety Council, farming is one of America's most hazardous jobs. Kids ages 10 to 14 are at high risk for injury, often because they take on a job or task that they aren't ready to handle. If you are under 9 at a graeter risk of injuries from the tools. If you do work on a farm, listen to your parents . Be careful where you play and don't go out to work on the farm on your own. If you're helping out, don't try to use equipment. You have to  be properly trained. If there's a job you really want to do, such as driving a tractor, you'll probably have to wait until you get a little older.
