Chainsaw/Woodcutting Safety

Personal protective equipment, reactive forces, chain saw safety features and kickback are demonstrated to show why you should know about them. The latest (OSHA recommended) techniques for starting a saw, directional felling, limbing, and bucking are discussed and demonstrated.

Chemical Fluid Identification

The importance of keeping liquids in their original, labeled containers, and keeping them out of reach of children is emphasized as you try to identify a variety of liquids ranging from motor oil to maple syrup.

Dust Masks and Respirators

See for yourself how important proper fit is. A pair of manikins wearing dust masks "breathe" through an instrument that counts particles in the air as small as 0.3 micron.

Flowing Grain Dangers

The speed at which a person can be drawn in and suffocated in stored grain is shown as a clear-sided gravity wagon is unloaded in front of you.

Mechanical Safety

Using actual machinery and a "spare finger," the audience, safely viewing the result of common mechanical injuries, is motivated to identify and stay away from moving parts that are pinch points, wrap points, shear points, crush points and stored energy.

Personal Protective Equipment

Can safety glasses bend a nail or safety shoes prevent toe jam? Watch as Mr. Sam answers these questions and encourages use of hard hats and hearing protection as well.

Power Take-Off (PTO) Safety

See a shirt sleeve wrap around a real PTO shaft 7 times before anyone can react. (actual or simulated) Your reaction time is timed electronically to show how many times the shaft rotates before you even know it. A video gives safety rules.
(Offered by Keith Additon, Richard Smith)

Reaction Timer

See how fast (or slow) your reaction time is and what extent of injury would be incurred by various machines during your reaction time.
(Offered by Keith Additon, Richard Smith)

Silo Gas

See how silo gas, which is heavier than air, moves down a silo chute and collects in low areas.
