What are ROPs? Roll-over protection and tractors.

Rollover protection is what keeps the driver safe when the tractor rolls over usually when riding along an incline, such as a terrace or ditch. There are two parts of safety equipment that keeps a rider alive. The first is the ROPs and the second a seat belt being worn at the time of the rollover. None of us are safe without both. Here is a recent story where ROPs are important to maintaining a safe tractor driving/working experience.

After a worker is injured is when they need the support of their employer the most. But injured workers aren't given a level playing field. The company doctor often times is not helping them and the case manager isn't either. The worker is left alone to fend for themselves and to make mistakes that result in lower benefits or fewer weeks of benefits. Some are sent back to work too soon.
