PPT : Tractor Safety – Safely Working With And Around Tractors

Content Inside :

Introduction
* The following safety module is intended to be used as a refresher safety awareness session and is in no way to be used as a substitute for job training nor proper equipment use.
* This training module was prepared by UC ANR – Environmental Health & Safety, based on information developed by AgSafe (www.agsafe.org).

SECURELY FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT IF THE TRACTOR HAS ROPS
* Don’t rely on the tractor’s Rollover Protection System (ROPS) alone for your protection – use your seat belt.
* Studies show that tractor drivers can still be thrown from an upset tractor and be seriously injured or crushed.
* The seat belt will help keep you inside the ROPS in the event of a rollover.

REDUCE SPEED WHEN TURNING
* When operating a tractor, avoid sharp turns and high speeds.
* High speeds, coupled with rough ground and narrow wheel settings increases the chance for a rollover.
* Make turns slowly and at wide angles.

AVOID OPERATING TRACTORS NEAR DITCHES, EMBANKMENTS AND HOLES
* Keep tractors and implements away from irrigation ditches and embankment edges to avoid tractor upsets. Edges may be weak and break from the weight of the equipment.
* When you are traveling downhill, use low gears. When you must go up a slope, back up to increase your stability.
* Approaching a steep slope in the forward position will cause the tractor to upset and possibly injure or kill you.
* Look ahead at your path. Keep your eyes open for large holes, rocks or any slopes and avoid them.

IF YOU GET STUCK, GET HELP FROM ANOTHER TRACTOR
* If you get stuck, do not tie a fence post or any other object to the tire for traction as it may tip the tractor over as it tries to overcome the hump, or the post may be thrown up behind the tractor hitting the driver.
* The best solution is to have another tractor pull you out.
