Youth Tractor Safety
About the Program
The Wisconsin Youth Tractor & Machinery Safety Certification Program is designed to meet requirements established by the US Department of Labor, pertaining to special provisions made for the employment of youth ages 14-15 on farms not operated by their parents. In addition, Wisconsin Act 455 Section 7(115.28 (11))provides specific provisions for tractor operation by 12-13 year olds.
