Important video! Well done when I was at agricultural college in the 80s a father fell in a underground slurry pit and his son went in to rescue his dad unfortunately they both died within 10 minutes of each other! I’ve never forgotten that. Takecare out there👍
Hi Cathal. Fair play for doing this video. It's scary to think that gas that's on most of our farms was used in WW1 as a weapon. Always thought that it was safe to enter a shed after the first half an hour or so after starting to agitate but you have proved this to be wrong. Fair play for demonetizing this video 👍
That was a shocker 😮 and information that should be shared worldwide amongst the farming communities 👌 makes me glad that the slurry pump agitator and loader was actually right at the door of the cubicle building where i worked 🤔 hope your efforts to educate prove rewarding stay safe 👍
Super video Cathal. Fair play to you for doing such an in-depth, well researched presentation on a hugely important topic.. Farm safety is sometimes very much taken for granted, and unfortunately, preventable accidents can and do regularly happen. I'll be sharing it across my platforms.. Well done 👏
Thanks Alan, I think slurrying is probably one of the most dangerous jobs on the farm. There are so many ways it can go wrong and as you say preventable accidents can and do happen.👍
What a great video Very informative and very important subject to. Well done fella for taking a stand like that and saying what should be said and everyone in those situations take for granted most times. Even as a Agri mechanic myself you don’t realise how close sometimes you can be working at a machine while mixing is going on. Many times I’ve been so close and didn’t know. Ignorance is all that I can say. You all take care up there 👍
Thanks for bringing this too people's attention,I don't farm but I did visit farms in a previous job and never knew about this...thank you! How's that 5711m going??
Congratulations on the video Very interesting. Often see it in lreland. Why is that ? Your nighbours where very lucky. One point if some one collapse in the shed what do you do .? Because your own instinct tells you to help them . Looks like you need a monitor
We have allot of stock farms here and therefore slurry. Very difficult if someone collapses to not rush in and help them. Turn the machine off and try and let the gas dissipate but thats not easy when you see someone in trouble.
As someone who’s not technically in farming but I know of the gas problems ( and I’m daft, not too thick 😆) i thought like you, I didnt think it would be too bad but seeing those numbers 😳. Would be interesting to see how accurate your cheap one was compared to your works one🤔 I’m thinking your 007 now🤣🤣
Good video. I didn’t know u got those monitors for farming. I’m not a farmer but was thing with the tractor running driving the mixer at the door of the shed why do they not put a fan on the mixer to draw air in from outside and get the gas moving out of the shed. Simple idea.
I thought it was safe outside but then I watched one of the Farm Safety videos and the person involved with that was mixing outside and still got overwhelmed with H2S gas. Defo safer but not safe.
