Because it's so common, people grow very comfortable using and being around it and forget that it's a hazardous chemical. Anhydrous ammonia causes serious injuries, like severe frostbite, serious burns, blindness, suffocation or lung damage, and even death, all in a matter of seconds. Many injuries can be avoided by properly handling the product and respecting it each and every time you work with it. **Personal protection is the responsibility of the employer and the employee.** [Read More](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/anhydrous-ammonia-review-the-basics-0) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/anhydrous-ammonia-review-the-basics-0#comments-listing) Topics: [anhydrous ammonia](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/anhydrous-ammonia), [first aid](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/first-aid), [personal protective equipment (PPE)](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/personal-protective-equipment-ppe) ## [Safe Handling of Anhydrous Ammonia - Train Employees](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/safe-handling-of-anhydrous-ammonia-train-employees) Posted by [Marty Huseman](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/author/marty-huseman) on Nov 14, 2017 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/hubfs/Anhydrous%20Ammonia%20Tank%202.jpg) ](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/safe-handling-of-anhydrous-ammonia-train-employees) **Are you and your employees prepared for the fall handling of anhydrous ammonia (****NH****3)?**  Before anyone begins to work around or with anhydrous ammonia it may be best to review your employee roster and see who has been trained and who has not. It is commonly reported that injuries of all types are more prevalent with first year employees. Don’t let new employees slip through the cracks and assume they’ve had adequate training, be absolutely sure.  Employees not directly involved with anhydrous should also be trained as they need to know what to do and what not to do should an incident arise. The hazardous nature of working with anhydrous ammonia leaves very little room for error, especially for those who don’t understand the hazards.   [Read More](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/safe-handling-of-anhydrous-ammonia-train-employees) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/safe-handling-of-anhydrous-ammonia-train-employees#comments-listing) Topics: [anhydrous ammonia](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/anhydrous-ammonia), [first aid](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/first-aid), [personal protective equipment (PPE)](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/topic/personal-protective-equipment-ppe) ## [Farm-Safety Training In-Depth: A Closer Look at First Aid](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/farm-safety-training-indepth-a-closer-look-at-first-aid-0-0) Posted by [Good Day's Work](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/author/good-days-work) on Jan 19, 2017 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/hubfs/Blog_images/farm_safety_training.jpg) ](https://blog.gooddayswork.ag/blog/farm-safety-training-indepth-a-closer-look-at-first-aid-0-0) One moment you are having a casual chat with a co-worker over lunch.
