6 Electrical Safety Tips For Your Farm:
1. Powerlines - start by identifying all the power lines on your farm, look out for damaged or downed ones. Make sure equipment and people are at least 3 meters away in order to prevent incidents. Electricity has a funny way of “jumping” to you or your equipment if you aren’t keeping a respectful distance.
2. Make sure your farm’s electrical system is properly grounded - KR Electric can inspect all systems and breakers to make sure they are in good operating condition, and all electrical tools have proper grounding protection.
3. Never use metal poles when breaking up bridged grain around and inside the bins.
4. Always bring in a certified electrician to work on drying equipment and all electrical systems in your farm. We are your Agricultural Specialists and will gladly make sure all your electrical operations are working properly.
5. Before transporting and moving equipment extensions, elevators, or portable augers, make sure you lower them under 14 feet. There are a bunch of factors that can make you lose control of the equipment and come across a power line, such as wind, shifting weight, uneven ground. Always be aware of your surroundings.
6. Verify that all light fixtures, switches, and outlets are rated for the environment they will be exposed to. Any and every piece of equipment that is used outdoors, must be rated for outdoor use.
Farming is a dangerous occupation and proper electrical inspections and protocols are a must for the safety of yourself, your family, and your farm. At KR Electric we encourage you to pay close attention to all power lines, equipment, and circuits; and to share this important information with farm managers and their teams.
