The importance of safety has been drilled into us since we were kids: Look both ways before crossing the street, don't run with scissors and tie your shoelaces so you don't trip. (Thanks, Mom and Dad.)
When operating any type of equipment, however, safety awareness takes on a whole meaning. Whether it’s a wheel loader moving a large payload through a worksite or a tractor pulling a planter across a field, it's critical that operators know how to safeguard against accidents.
