First on the Scene (NRAES 12)
Abstract
The ability to make the right decisions when a farm accident is discovered depends on whether you, the first person on the scene, have been trained in assessing farm accident scenes and first aid. You must be familiar with the machinery, storage facilities, and structures on the farm so that decisions made will not further injure the victim or put yourself in danger. This bulletin is intended to provide background knowledge of farm accident situations that will assist in making good decisions.
