do you have the chops to be a vet?
Then answer the following questions.
Appropriate personal protective equipment (clothing) for working with beef cattle includes:
Shorts, singlet and sports shoes to assist you in rounding up the cattle at maximum speed
substantial work boots, overalls and a hat in hot weather.
swim wear as it is easier to hose yourself down at the end of the day rather than it is to try and wash cattle faeces, etc. off of your overalls
base ball cap worn backwards to prevent hitting your head on overhead steel bars on the cattle crush operating handle.
The bare midriff look is appropriate for working on farms for both male and female veterinary students in summer since this type of dress:
prevents you from getting heat exhaustion during the hot weather,
prevents your clothing from being snagged on any exposed bolt or wire around the cattle yards,
this preceding statement is incorrect, the bare midriff look is inappropriate dress for farm work
prevents excessive washing of overalls
When holding a gate for drafting cattle you should:
Concentrate on what is occurring in the yards, looking at the person moving cattle and monitoring individual animals behaviour in the yard
Just watch what is happening in the immediate vicinity of the person working with the cattle
Turn your back on the gate for periods of time to chat with other people and/or daydream about the upcoming weekend
Let go of the gate and turn your back if there is anything that distracts you.
When injecting vaccine into sheep, if you accidentally vaccinate yourself you should:
Panic and run screaming round the sheep yard
Use a knife to cut the area open where you injected yourself and try to suck out the vaccine
Read the packet and label insert and check what the manufacturer directs you to do in the case of inadvertent self-innoculation, then consult your doctor if required.
Not worry about it
According to Worksafe and the Victorian Government, the most frequent cause of fatal accidents for people on farms in Victoria is:
The tractor or all terrain vehicle (four wheel motor-bike)
Agricultural motor bike
Artificially-reared Friesian, Jersey or Ayrshire bull
Bottle reared adult pet ram.
Neurotic hen with a taste for blood
