The unfortunate accident, in which a 56-year-old man suffered a hand injury, was caused by a piece of clothing getting caught in the tiller shaft. He was taken to hospital with injuries. Fortunately, his life and health are not in danger.
The police determined that while performing field work using a tractor with a tiller attached, a 56-year-old male resident of the Karczmiska commune sustained a hand injury as a result of a piece of clothing getting caught in the machine's drive shaft. The man was taken to hospital, but fortunately his life and health are not in danger.
The 56-year-old was sober.
We appeal to observe safety rules and exercise special caution and, if possible, ask another person for help and safety during all types of field work. The most common cause of accidents in agriculture is failure to observe basic safety rules, haste, inattention and fatigue. When performing work on the farm, remember not to approach it in a routine manner. Seemingly simple activities performed contrary to safety rules can be dangerous to health and even life – writes the police from Opole Lubelskie on their website.
