Dairy Worker Safety and Health: Tractor Safety on Dairy Farms

Details

• Personal Author:
  Ayers P ; Douphrate D
• Description:
  The leading cause of death for farmworkers between 1992 and 2009 was tractor overturns, accounting for more than 90 deaths annually. A roll bar or roll-over protective structure and seat belt usage could have prevented these deaths. However, in 2006 only 59 percent of tractors used on farms in the U.S. were equipped with these devices. Other tractor-related fatalities involve falls, run-overs, crushes and PTO entanglement.
