Machinery is responsible for several deaths and injuries each year on farms, major culprits being tractors and quad bikes. Tractors, being one of the inseparable components of agriculture machinery, should be carefully handled in order to avoid mishaps. If operated correctly and fitted with rollover protection structures (ROPS), tractors are safe to use. However, unfortunately, tractors remain a common cause of injury and deaths of people working on farms. Below mentioned are the general tractor safety rules everyone should follow:

The very first thing is – walking tractors are for adults’ usage, not for children.
Make sure the tractor has undergone specialized training to perform all the farm needs efficaciously
At the time of buying a tractor, always make sure it has:
Roll-over protective structures (ROPS)
Appropriate guards
Falling-object protective structures (FOPS)
Adequate ventilation
A cabin to protect you from heat, dust, rain and other elements
If not used safely, tractors can get falls, rollovers, and runovers.
Be careful during general tractor operations. Accidents may happen while hitching equipment, hydraulics, and power take-offs.
Pay attention especially while you are starting or stopping a tractor
Don’t allow passengers (especially children) ride on tractors
Always use seat belts
Safe tractor operations guidelines include:
Proper servicing
Fuel storage and refueling practices
