Tractor Safety
The Tractor Safety course for 2023 in Pierce County will be offered this spring for youths 13-15 years of age. The Federal Child Labor Law, established in 1970 states that a person under the age of 16 cannot be employed for driving a tractor on farms not operated by their parents or guardians until they have completed a tractor safety course and become certified. Participants must be 14 years of age to receive this federal certification on their fourteenth birthday. Wisconsin Act 455 prohibits any child under the age of 16 to operate a farm tractor or self-propelled implement of husbandry on the highway unless the child had complete tractor safety certification. Wisconsin Act 178 establishes a minimum age limit of 12 to enroll for this type of certification. The students must attend all classes and pass the course to receive certification. The course teaches youth about tractors and farm machinery. They learn how to operate the machines safely. They also learn about safety features connected with operation and use of machines. The course includes classroom and practical instruction and the youth are tested on knowledge and operation of a tractor. Students who enroll are required to have a Social Security number before they can be certified. Application forms for Social Security numbers are available at banks and post offices.
