Tractors are equipment that has multiple uses in agriculture. Mainly they are used for tasks such as plowing, raking, sowing, harvesting and as shooting equipment for agricultural equipment.
All these functions are carried out in rural areas where there are no good roads, irregular paddocks, ditches, irrigation channels, bridges, etc., which determine that driving a tractor requires operational knowledge and adequate preventive safety standards, mainly because accidents In tractors are not frequent, but of a high severity (serious injuries, deaths, etc.).
It is also important to consider that during the last years the increase of these equipment in the country in relation to the previous years has been very significant, therefore, the risks will be greater, being necessary to train the agricultural operator in the preventive measures of operation of a tractor.
The risk prevention measures that a good agricultural operator must know and apply when driving a tractor.
A good operator must have the following characteristics:
Security
Efficiency
Puntuality
The most important of these is security, personal security. The human resource is unrecoverable, the material goods are recoverable.
