Farm Worker Safety Series: Tractor Safety Course
- Tuesday, July 13, 2021, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
- Wednesday, July 14, 2021, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
This intensive class is designed to educate and empower current or future users of agricultural tractors and farm equipment. It is designed to meet the needs of new and beginning farmers, and it also has proven valuable to many seasoned professionals – some of whom were never formally schooled on tractors. During the class, we will demystify tractors and improve understanding of how tractors are designed to work; how to operate them safely and effectively; and how to perform regular and basic maintenance tasks. The class covers lots of material – in a classroom setting, on and around the tractor, and “in the workshop.” While it would be very difficult to ensure full competency or mastery within two days, participants will leave with a much greater appreciation for safe tractor use and machinery care, along with new knowledge and resources they can apply to their own situations.
Lunch will be provided both days.
A 90-page spiral binder booklet of readings is distributed to each of the attendees.
Please don't wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry.
