AEM’s safety and training materials cover more than 40 types of equipment used in agricultural, construction, forestry and utility applications.
The association initiated its safety-tools program more than 40 years ago to provide job-proven and time-tested suggestions that promote safety-conscious attitudes and performance. In addition to accident prevention, benefits include improved worker productivity and less equipment downtime for repairs.
