A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !
The following points need to be paid attention to when using a hoe to dig the frozen soil in winter :
Body safety and protection
- Keep warm :
Wear enough warm clothes, such as thick cotton-padded jackets, trousers, gloves, hats, etc., to prevent frostbite. Pay special attention to keeping the hands and feet warm and avoid exposing them to the cold environment for a long time, which may cause numbness and affect the safety of operation !
- Use proper postures :
Maintain correct postures and movements when digging. Avoid excessive force or improper postures that may cause sprains in the waist, shoulders and other parts. Do some appropriate warm-up activities to move the joints before starting work to reduce the risk of injury !
Tool selection and use
- Choose a suitable hoe :
Select a hoe that is moderately weighted, sturdy and durable, and has a sharp blade to reduce the resistance when digging and improve work efficiency !
- Check the condition of the hoe :
Carefully check whether the wooden handle of the hoe has cracks or looseness and whether the metal part has rust or deformation before use to ensure that the tool is safe and reliable !
Judging the soil condition
- Observe the degree of frozen soil :
Before digging, observe the freezing situation of the soil. If the frozen soil is too thick or too hard, forcibly digging may damage the hoe or even lead to accidents. Some thawing measures can be taken first !
- Avoid obstacles :
Pay attention to stones, tree roots and other obstacles in the field and avoid direct collisions between the hoe and them, which may damage the hoe or cause rebounds and hurt people !
Safety of the working environment
- Pay attention to anti-slip :
In winter, there may be snow or ice on the ground, which is easy to slip. Pay attention to the situation under your feet when digging and choose a stable standing position. If necessary, tie anti-slip chains to the soles of your shoes or wear anti-slip shoes !
- Protect against wind and snow :
Pay attention to weather changes and avoid working in bad weather such as strong winds and heavy snow. If encountering windy or snowy weather, stop digging in time and find a safe place to take shelter !
