Ensuring Safety in the Shearing Sheds | Roles & Responsibilities
As the title suggests, the article briefly describes the risk involved while working in the woolshed and preventative measures to be taken into consideration to reduce that risk.
Farm owners or shearing contractors hold the responsibility to manage day-to-day operations. The responsibilities of the farm or shearing contractors include-
1. To keep a regular check on the machinery utilized for shearing such as shearing machines, grinder, wool press, wool table, etc.
2. Update the workers priorly if any machinery is damaged or having significant risks.
3. Looking upon the health and safety process of the contractors or workers.
4. Providing training and supervision to the workers to minimize the risk of accidents.
5. To keep the woolshed in an organized way with safe and healthy working environments.
Most of the shearing sheds are getting old leading to safety issues for the workers working there. As a result, many of the farm building manufacturers have started opting to start afresh by building a new and improved shearing shed. It will ultimately lead to a better livestock handling facility, making it an easy task for the shearers and farm owners. Some of the improved designs include raised and curved shearing boards, proper insulation facility, ventilation, and lighting features.
It is also said that finding a good shearer is a tedious task nowadays, and so in order to gain the interest of the shearer in their work, a modern shed needs to be built with the required amount of safety measures and hygiene.
