BackgroundBackground
Tractor rollovers and run overs: • Are not common accidents.• Have a high potential for causing
death or disabling injury when they
do occur.• Prevention efforts have a high
“pay back” value.
4
ResearchResearchThe Canadian Agricultural
Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) reports that tractor rollovers and run overs result in:• 30 deaths • 75 hospitalized injuries
on Canadian farms on average, every year.

Are accidents “accidental”?Are accidents “accidental”?• Accidents viewed as:
– “freak events” – result of “carelessness”
• Research has shown that accidents:– have identifiable risk
factors– are predictable– are preventable
• Terminology change:– “incidents”
6
Accident/incident analysisAccident/incident analysis
• Immediate cause• Possible contributing factors
– Human– Mechanical – Environmental
• Basic, “systemic” cause• What one thing could prevent a
similar incident?
7
Case studiesCase studies

Personal Risk Profile ScoringPersonal Risk Profile Scoring• 85 – 100% RISK: LOW
“Stay alert and keep up the good work”
• 70 – 84% RISK: LOWER THAN AVERAGE, BUT CAN BE IMPROVED “Can you afford to risk your life or the life of someone else?”
• 50 – 69% RISK: SIGNIFICANT “You are taking a gamble with your life or the life of someone else.”
• < 50% RISK: HIGH “You are endangering your life or the life of
someone else.”
31
ConclusionConclusion
• It takes more than luck to prevent a tractor rollover or run over.
• But you can do it!
