Mounting and dismounting a tractor has been identified as a common antecedent to tractor run-over events. Two farm safety action groups in Victoria have fitted a number of tractors with safe access platforms and this report outlines the results of an evaluation of the uptake and implementation of this initiative." -- Publisher's website Notes "January 2005" "RIRDC project no.
