Safety

Personal Protective Equipment

Do not wear loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long hair should be tied back to avoid entanglement.
Wear steel-toe boots or other appropriate footwear. Soft cloth shoes or sandals are not safe around any
type of equipment.
Wear hearing protection such as earplugs or other devices that will minimize sounds, but will not interfere
with your ability to hear traffic or other noises that may alert you to potential hazards.
Do not operate any machinery while talking on a cell phone or using other portable devices such as MP3 players,
as these are considered distractions. Operating any farm equipment requires the operator's full attention.

Emergency Preparedness

Keep a fire extinguisher on your tractor and check the expiration date periodically!
Keep a well stocked first aid kit on your tractor.
Save In Case of Emergency ( I.C.E ) numbers on your cell phone (including doctors, hospital and
911 services).
Keep I.C.E. numbers next to a home or office phone.
