Tractor Safety (CAN)
Tractors are the workhorse of Canadian farms, and they are also the single biggest cause of death and serious injury in agricultural operations. Rollovers, runovers, and power take-off entanglements happen in seconds, often to experienced operators who knew the machine well, and nearly all of them are preventable. Solid training helps operators understand why tractors tip, how to hitch and operate the machine safely, and how to recognize and control the hazards before someone gets hurt. This course covers tractor anatomy and safety systems, stability and rollover prevention, safe operating procedures from the pre-operation check to shutdown, and the major hazards of tractor work along with the controls for each.

What You'll Learn
- Why tractor safety matters and the rules that apply in Canada
- The main parts of a farm tractor and what each one does for your safety
- Stability: why tractors tip, and how to keep yours upright
- Safe operating procedures, from your pre-operation check to shutting down
- The major hazards you'll face and how to control them
About This Course
Of all the equipment on a farm, the tractor is the one most likely to hurt or kill the person operating it. Rollovers, runovers, and getting caught in a power take-off shaft are behind a large share of farm deaths in Canada, and the operators involved are usually not beginners. They are experienced people who knew the machine well and got caught by a moment of bad luck or a shortcut that went wrong.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
• Describe the safety-relevant parts and systems of a farm tractor
• Explain why tractors roll over and how to prevent it
• Identify safe operating procedures for starting, driving, towing, and shutting down
• Recognize the major hazards of tractor operation and the controls for each
• Name your ongoing responsibilities as an operator

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
