Abstract: Agricultural tractor overturn deaths have been identified as a problem since the 1920s, and today the leading cause of agricultural occupational deaths in the United States (Hard et al, 2002). The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), Bureau of Labor Statistics, most recent data indicate the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector had the third highest number of fatalities and the highest rate of fatalities workers of any industrial sector. The average rate is 3.6 deaths per 100,000 workers; approximately 200 per year, and 1/3 of all occupational fatalities in the agricultural production sector. The majority could have been prevented with the use of a rollover protective structure (ROPS), which have been proven to be an effective engineering intervention; cost-effective roll over protective structures (CROPS). Installing ROPS on retrofittable tractors would reduce rollovers fatalities by more than 80% and nonfatal injuries by about 53% (Myers & Pana-Cryan, 2000). However, barriers continue to exist preventing the large scale adoption of ROPS on tractors, such as financial (cost), and other influential barriers (Hallman, 2005). NIOSH surveillance has indicated there are 4.7 million tractors and 1.7 million in the US without ROPS. NIOSH has developed, designed and conducted testing for CROPS, but has yet to get it into the field (Owusu-Edusei & Biddle, 2007a; Owusu-Edusei & Biddle, 2007b; Owusu-Edusei, 2008). This exploratory research effort is to conduct a demonstration project of how to install the CROPS, identify barriers; adoption approaches to encourage retrofit of tractors with CROPS, utilizing stakeholder's input. With the assistance of state partners, the study population has been identified, from this group a subset of farmers will receive CROPS, install the CROPS and provide an initial assessment of their perception of the utility and value of the device and allow others to observe the retrofit process.
