Safety when harvesting coarse feed

During the hay harvesting and harvesting of coarse feed, observe the fire safety rules!            To date, agricultural work on hay harvesting and harvesting of coarse fodder is in full swing. Hot, dry and windy weather during the work, a large number of agricultural machinery and fuels and lubricants create a fire-hazardous situation.            A fire may arise from a violation of the established rules for refueling forage harvesting equipment, tractors, cars and self-propelled chassis. Spilled oil, gasoline, kerosene and other flammable and combustible liquids pose a serious danger. The causes of a fire in the field and in the haylofts may be sparks in the ignition system, from the exhaust pipes of agricultural units, in the absence of serviceable spark arresters on them, friction of the straw mass accumulated in the nodes of the units.            In order to avoid the occurrence of fires and prevent the destruction of material values, it is necessary to observe the basic rules.            Storage of haylofts on farmsteads, territories of residential buildings is carried out at a distance of at least 15 meters to buildings and outbuildings.Prohibited:1) storage on the roofs of sheds and other outbuildings;2) storage under power lines;3) storage at a distance of less than three meters from the outer fence of the site;4) place haystacks, piles, hay stacks, straw, and other types of coarse fodder on the streets, roads, and out of homesteads.            Transportation of coarse feed is carried out on specially equipped vehicles, the exhaust pipes of which are removed under the radiator and equipped with spark extinguishers, also equipped with two powder fire extinguishers.            The height of storage of coarse feed should be no more than four meters.
