Make sure proper safety procedures become a part of everyday life. Wear seat belts when driving your vehicle, and fasten small children in approved child safety seats. When riding an ATV, wear a helmet. Children should not operate machinery until they complete safety training. Adults need to enforce this rule.
Machines requiring safety training to operate include lawn mowers and ATVs.
Once trained, make sure children always follow safety rules. No Riders Most children love the thrill of riding on a tractor or other piece of farm machinery. What starts out as innocent fun may lead to injury or death. Children should not be extra riders on any type of equipment. Playing on equipment is fun, but not safe.
