Farming transportation incidents, led by tractor rollovers, are the single most lethal on-the-job hazard agricultural workers face. Approximately 100 people die in tractor rollovers every year. The best way to protect these workers from rollovers is to equip tractors with roll-over protection structures that safeguard the operator in case of a rollover. But fewer than 60 percent of the country’s tractors are equipped with these devices.

The Risks of Tractor Rollovers
Farming transportation incidents, led by tractor rollovers, are the single most lethal on-the-job hazard agricultural workers face. Approximately 100 people die in tractor rollovers every year.
The major causes of side rollovers include:
- Driving too close to an incline or embankment
- Driving too fast when negotiating a curve
- Driving the tractor with a loaded front-end loader in the raised position
- Uneven braking while traveling at high speeds
- Losing control of the tractor due to excessive load size
The best way to protect these workers from rollovers is to equip tractors with roll-over protection structures that safeguard the operator in case of a rollover. But less than 60 percent of the country’s tractors are equipped with these devices. Avoiding backing down hills and driving around ditches instead of across them can also help operators avoid rollovers.
