Saga City Launches Autumn Farm Safety Campaign for 2025
Saga City is pleased to announce the commencement of its “Autumn Farm Safety Campaign for Reiwa 7” (2025). This important initiative, launched on September 1st, 2025, at 7:32 AM, aims to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals involved in agricultural activities during the crucial autumn harvest season.
Autumn is a period of intense activity on farms as farmers work diligently to bring in the season’s crops. While this is a time of rewarding labor, it also presents unique challenges and potential risks. Saga City recognizes the dedication and hard work of its agricultural community and is committed to supporting their efforts by promoting a strong culture of safety.
The “Autumn Farm Safety Campaign for Reiwa 7” will focus on raising awareness and providing practical guidance on a range of safety measures. Key areas of emphasis are expected to include:
- Machinery Safety: Ensuring all farm machinery is in good working order, properly maintained, and operated with the utmost caution. This includes adherence to operating manuals, proper use of safety guards, and awareness of blind spots.
- Prevention of Falls: As work often involves climbing or working at heights, measures to prevent falls from ladders, elevated platforms, and tractors will be highlighted.
- Heatstroke Prevention: Despite the autumn season, warm weather can persist, making heatstroke a continued concern. Hydration, taking regular breaks in shaded areas, and recognizing the early signs of heat-related illness are crucial.
- Safe Handling of Pesticides and Fertilizers: Proper storage, handling, and application of agricultural chemicals, along with the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), will be strongly encouraged.
- Traffic Safety: With increased farm machinery movement on roads, promoting safe interactions between agricultural vehicles and other traffic is vital to prevent accidents.
- Ergonomics and Fatigue Management: Encouraging practices that minimize physical strain and managing fatigue are important for long-term health and preventing injuries.
Saga City urges all farmers, farm workers, and residents who engage in agricultural practices to actively participate in this campaign. By working together and prioritizing safety, we can ensure a productive and injury-free autumn harvest for everyone in our community. Further details on specific campaign activities and resources will be communicated through official channels.
