New Farm Equipment Safety Toolkit Available Free Online

By: Karen Jones

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has introduced a free online safety toolkit to promote safety awareness, education, and training for operators of off-highway equipment used in agriculture, along with construction, utility, mining, and forestry. After completing a brief registration, users are directed to a set of materials tailored to their needs.

“The AEM Safety Materials Program has been in existence for more than 50 years,” says Jaime Vos, senior director of the AEM Safety Materials Program. “We realized that our materials were not only being purchased by our members, but they were also bought by the general public. We received many inquiries over the years from businesses and trade schools looking for educational resources as well, and we realized that we could repurpose our materials online to provide greater safety awareness to the general public.”
