Did you know that, according to the United States National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health between 1992-2000, an average of 110 American farm workers were crushed to death each year by tractor rollovers.
Every day, about 228 agricultural workers suffer lost-work-time injuries, and about 5% of these result in permanent impairment. However, you, your family, and your employees can avoid being part of these grisly statistics when armed with the right safety knowledge.
This interactive, John Deere University online course offers a quick, effective way to become familiar with safe tractor-operating procedures. The course is recommended for anyone who owns and/or operates tractors, but will also benefit others who spend time around them.
