Road Safety: A Top Priority for Plant 21
When operating your farm equipment on public roads it's important to remember that road safety is a shared responsibility between you, the equipment operator, as well as motorists.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has put together an action list with tips and procedures to equip farm workers operating farming equipment on the road. Included is a short Road Safety & Farm Vehicles video.
Farm Guide: Farm Equipment on the Highway
As a part of the farming community it is important to understand your legal obligations under the law. The Ministry of Transportation has produced a guide to provide general information and clarification for the laws that apply to farm equipment, and select provisions that apply to farm trucks, to help the farming community better understand their legal obligations under the law.
