Let's talk hearing conservation, noise and hearing loss so that you know what actions you can take to protect your hearing in the workplace or at home.

Power Take Off’s (PTO’s) on tractors and machinery are all too frequently a cause of serious or even fatal injury. This presentation demonstrates how to assess the safety of guarding and how to fit a PTO guard correctly. Guarding saves lives.

Pascal's law states that the pressure applied at one point of the liquid is transmitted equally in all direction. This principal is applied in hydraulic lift, for lifting heavy objects.

Many farmers suffer from high levels of stress and depression, but they don’t often talk about it. CBC news interviewed farmers about their mental health struggles and experiences with stress and depression. This video shows interviews with Saskatchewan farmers who have experienced mental health issues. It fits well with the Agriculture Production 10-30 outcomes covering psychological health.

Having trouble understanding hydraulic couplers? Need help matching up a set? In this video, I provide a guide to help you understand the different styles and sizes of hydraulic couplers.

Type of Fuse
There are different types of fuses available in the market and they can be categories on the basis of Different aspects. Good to know: Fuses are used in AC as well as DC circuits.

In this video, I will go to show you Different Types of Fuses.

Fuses can be divided into two main categories according to the type of input supply voltage.

1. AC fuses.
2. DC fuses.

This video clearly explain various types of hydraulic pumps used in industry and its Working principle.

The Saskatchewan Association of Resource Recovery Corporation and how it operates it used oil and used oil filter recycling program. See how oil is gathered from dealerships and safely handled for reuse. Also learn how they gather used oil filters are compressed into brick, placed in drums and shipped to a processing facility where the material can be transformed into various types of steel products.

In this video, Chad reviews how vane pumps work and what applications they can be found in.

WHMIS pictograms are simple graphic images that are intended to highlight the types of hazards present in various hazardous products. A quick glance at a pictogram, such as flammable, corrosive or health hazard, will alert the user of the hazardous product of the potential dangers and compel him/her to take the requisite precautions.

Pictograms were introduced into WHMIS in 2015 when Canada integrated the GHS into WHMIS. They are replacements for the old WHMIS 1988 symbols.

Except for the biohazardous infectious materials pictogram, all the WHMIS pictograms are made of a distinctive red “square-set-on-one-of-its-points” border and have the symbol representing the hazard associated with a product inside the border.

Pictograms are required to be a significant highlight contain in WHMIS training, which is required by any Canadian worker who may come in contact with or workaround hazardous products.

This short video introduces WHMIS and its role in Canada. It also outlines the Globally Harmonized System of Classification (GHS). This is good as a short overview of WHMIS for students.

A hydraulic system works by moving the working fluid through the components. But apart from power transmission, a hydraulic fluid additionally helps in dissipating the heat from the components thus cooling the system. The heat generated is due to the working of various components. To ensure smooth functioning, the moving components of the system should be lubricated as well. Thus, hydraulic fluid has various functions in a hydraulic power system.

The selection of hydraulic fluid is dependent on the requirements of the power system. Nonetheless, the hydraulic fluid must possess some properties to be used in a hydraulic power system. A hydraulic fluid having good lubricity separates and lubricates the components effectively. A good hydraulic fluid should have ideal viscosity, it should be stable chemically, as well as physically to ensure usage for long time periods. The fluid must have high bulk modulus for proper working. Another property desired in a hydraulic fluid is fire-resistance. Additionally, hydraulic fluids having low foaming tendency are preferred in hydraulic systems.

Although no hydraulic fluid can possess all the properties. Hence, the best possible hydraulic fluid is used which fulfils most of the requirements of the system.

Digit-by-digit explanation of METRIC bearings with examples. Some optional manufacturer specific letter and number codes also explained briefly.

If a disease outbreak takes hold of a certain crop or livestock species, what does that mean to a society so dependent on agriculture. What are some of the ways to prepare and respond to these events? To answer these questions, the Office of the Vice President for Research at Colorado State University gained insight from researchers across multiple disciplines related to agricultural biosecurity.

In this tutorial we will learn what electric charge and current is and how electricity works.

If you're a total tractor "newbie", you'll hear the term PTO or "Power Take Off" used often when talking about tractors. It's one of the most dangerous parts of any farm tractor and something that needs to be respected by the operator. In this video we discuss the different types of PTO and how they work.

The PTO is the spinning shaft on the back of the tractor that attaches to a shaft to power a variety of implements, brush hogs, finish mowers, tillers and most post hole diggers.
PTO's haven't been redesigned since early farm tractors, it's a splined shaft that spins, turning a long driveshaft that leads to a gearbox to make blades spin, tines turn, or augers dig.

Problem is, if you get any part of your body parts, hair or clothing stuck in a spinning PTO, you'll likely be killed in a horrific manner, or maimed for life. Don't want to scare you here, but NEVER get off the tractor and go back near a spinning PTO. EVER!!!!

PTO entanglement one of the reasons why farming is either the most dangerous, or second most dangerous occupation , and especially if you're new to tractors you need to stay way from them with the tractor running. A human can't stop a PTO from turning.

This is one of the most popular questions relating to WHMIS and it's super difficult to get a straight answer. In this video, Dave Cvetanovski, Founder and Lead Instructional Designer for OnlinWHMIS.ca, explains who needs WHMIS training.
