The Municipality of Istog has issued guidelines for all farmers, combine harvesters, producers, and personnel involved in the harvesting and threshing process. These directives emphasize the implementation of comprehensive safety and fire prevention measures throughout the season. According to the official notice, several specific measures must be observed to safeguard life, property, and agricultural yields.
All parties are required to take proactive steps to ensure safety across the board. Furthermore, every combine harvester and related machinery must be equipped with essential safety gear, including a fire extinguisher (P-9), shovels, and spades. Operational safety protocols also stipulate where maintenance activities can occur.
Cleaning filters, servicing equipment, and refueling must exclusively take place in designated safe areas, specifically away from gravel surfaces. To mitigate the potential spread of fire across larger operational sites, the creation of dividing strips is mandatory. Additionally, the municipality stresses that smoking is strictly prohibited both during the harvesting and threshing operations, and while operating inside combine harvesters.
Adherence to these established measures is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment and protecting agricultural assets throughout the season.
