Tractor Action : A Step-by-step Guide to Using Tractors Safely

This revised leaflet is for everyone who uses a tractor, or tractor-operated machinery.

HSE inspectors investigated over 1000 tractor accidents.

It applies to those working in farming, forestry, horticulture, amenity horticulture and the sports turf industry.On average ten people a year die in tractor accidents and there are many major injuries, including amputations and fractures. There are many more accidents which HSE never hears about. Simple but essential safety steps would have prevented most of them. This leaflet shows how training in tractor safety could save lives.
