• Description:
  Far too often you hear stories about fatal or near fatal crash involving farm machinery or a logging truck and another vehicle. In the U.S., the number one cause of fatal occupational injuries is highway transportation crashes. AFF workers experience substantially higher transportation-related injury rates compared to other workers. Additionally, all five states (AR, LA, NM, OK, TX) in the SW Ag Center region were among those with the highest or second highest rates. It is imperative that tractor, logging truck operators, and motorists become aware of the collision hazards and how to stay safe on rural roads. Speed and seasonal production are factors that account for higher crash trends in the SW region. [Description provided by NIOSH]
