Large machines on the road and repeated accidents at home: The farmers' association and the police appeal to farmers to exercise caution. Every year, numerous farmers are seriously injured in the fields or on their own farm, explained Christian Satzl, social insurance officer for agriculture, forestry and horticulture.
On site, Satzl warned, to always get the tractor backwards and to use a suitable ladder for overhead work or to replace the worn, small running board on a non-slip board. An AI-supported reversing camera can also provide more safety, as soon as it recognizes a person, it can beeps, says Satzl. The event was organized for the first time by the Ebersberg district association of the Bavarian Farmers' Association and the Eberberg/Munich East Machinery and Operational Assistance Ring. The police chief commissioner also sees farmers as responsible for cleaning the roads. “No one is asking you to clean up the dirt every half hour, but at least put up a warning triangle,” he asked.
