Service belief for farmers: protective measures finally enforced!

Service belief for farmers: protective measures finally enforced!

An alarming security situation causes a stir in Salzburg and agriculture: Despite strict controls, many drivers do not adhere to the straps. Thomas Schwaiger from the Salzburg State Police Directorate points out that eight organ mandates were imposed due to anxious trips. In addition, twelve drivers were caught by phone without a hands -free device and two alcoholic drivers were displayed. These incidents occur at a critical time after a suspected attack in Magdeburg made increased security measures, especially at ChristkindlMärkten, required, as reported.

parallel to the developments in Salzburg, a new seat belt is introduced in agriculture. This measure is intended to help improve the safety of drivers in self -driving machines. After a number of tragic accidents, including a fatal incident this year, those responsible demand that agricultural apprentices and employees have to buckle up when driving tractors. This also affects the retrofitting of seat belts, where they are not yet available, such as Schweizerbauer.ch reported.

The initiative "Sit - buckle up - drive off" should create a habit, wearing belts is now binding. Experts emphasize that consistent implementation of the straps and the investigation of farmers are decisive in order to reduce the number of accidents. In agriculture, where security is often neglected, this regulation is more than necessary. It is supported by the accident insurance law and should come into force immediately.
