Farm and ranch machinery often relies on Power Take Off (PTO) systems, which can be extremely dangerous if not handled properly. This training covers essential PTO safety practices to prevent life-threatening entanglements and injuries.
Use cases
- When onboarding new farm or ranch workers operating tractors or PTO-driven equipment
- As a refresher for seasoned staff before planting, harvesting, or maintenance seasons
- Before performing any PTO repairs, adjustments, or routine maintenance
Why it works
- Focuses on practical steps like checking guards, disengaging PTOs, and avoiding loose clothing to minimize risk
- Emphasizes the extreme speed and danger of PTO shafts to reinforce caution
- Reduces farm workplace injuries by promoting a safety-first mindset around high-risk equipment
