Let’s not be casual as to safety around the farm.
With many deaths every year we understand that safety can no longer be taken lightly. Or as farm owners, workers or managers of the farm think we may not be held personally liable should an accident take place.
We must take all practicable steps to prevent staff, contractors or even visitors to the farm from having a tragedy. Due to the possible severe consequences and ever increasing importance it is critical that farmers, regardless of their role, take an honest assessment as to ‘what’ could go wrong and on the farm and ‘where’ could it happen.
At Nevada Equipment, we visit a lot of dairy farms throughout New Zealand and have identified that dairy effluent storage ponds/tanks and such like are a potential hazard. There have been some tragic cases relating to the use of pump pontoons and it was in this area that Nevada invested hours of research into how these could be made safer so nothing like this ever happens again.
The innovative Nevada PondBoom™ the safe option for effluent ponds. It removes the need to venture out onto the pond. You can stand at the shore and retrieve the pump to your side in a few short minutes for servicing and maintenance.
The Two valuable benefits the PondBoom™ provides:
- Operator Safety – It removes the need for anyone to venture out onto the pond to service or check the pump
- Service Efficiency – It makes quick work of retrieving and deploying the pump for servicing or checking, as you no longer have to crane the pump or pontoon onto land.
