Tractor Safety
Emphasis Needed
By STANLEY

Tractor accidents are increasing
with the increased number and
use of tractors on farms, accord
ing to the Virginia Rural Safety
Council In rural Virginia last
year. there were IS deaths caused
by machinery many of them by
turned tractors.
The National Safety Council
estimates that there are 600 70
700 accidental fatalities and 20
900 to $4,000 non-fatal injuries
with tractors annually Tractors
seem to be involved in about one
third of the non-fatal machinery
accidents. and more than one-half
of all the fatal mlShaps with ma
chinery The average cost of nom
fatal machinery accidents is about
500 for medical expenses. and 20
days lost time.
Overturning accounts for more
than half Of all the tractor acct
dent fatalities. Excessive speed
causing loss of control is the prin-
cipal reason for side tips. Forcing
tractors out of bitches. or from
other locations, where the rear
wheels tend to become anchored
accounts for most of the back
ward tipping casualties.
Traffic collisions. underage
operators. extra riders, children
playing around tractors, and I'M
guarded power take-offs also take
a large portion OF the victims
each year. Collision with station
AIRY objects, fires, lightning and
improper cranking are some Of
the many other causes that show
