Toolbox Talks

Toolbox talks do not protect employers, but they do help to protect employees.

SGTT21 - STAFF FEEDING PIGS
​

Always use mechanical handling methods instead of manual handling if possible e.g. Wheelbarrow to carry and where possible position protein and potato bags.

​

Know your capabilities; take care near the pigs.


Checks that should be carried out before feeding the pigs:

  • Make sure the pigs are in the Ark or away from the area where you are going to feed them

  • Wear gloves to protect against cuts and punctures

  • Wear safety boots or shoes to protect your feet

  • Be aware of the pigs at all times

  • Don’t be complacent

  • Wash your hands or use the disinfectant

​

By doing so we hope to be able to

  • Reduce the Number of accidents and incidents on site

SGTT22 - PUBLIC FEEDING PIGS

​​

Be aware of site conditions, only feed the pigs raw vegetables or the potatoes provided in the tub next to the enclosure.

​

Know your capabilities; take care near the pigs.


Be aware of the following before feeding the pigs:

  • Do not go into the enclosure

  • Be aware of the electrical tape around the enclosure, marked with a warning sign 

  • Do not let the pigs feed from your hands, throw the food into the enclosure

  • Be aware of the pigs at all times

  • Don’t be complacent

  • Wash your hands or use the disinfectant after feeding the pigs

  • ​

By doing so we hope to be able to

  • Reduce the Number of accidents and incidents on site
