Agricultural Machinery Hazards Vol 2

Book description

As long as agriculture underpins the survival of humanity, safety remains a relevant issue to life security in and around the farm community for system sustainability. An understanding of the issues and values of hazard and safety in machinery operations as presented in this book with full coloured graphic prints will aid in decision-making reinforced by principles and practice as well as facilitate effective utilization of signal communication techniques and the attainment of relevant knowledge in accident prevention in primary production processes.
