National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program

 

 

NSTMOP is a project of Hazardous Occupations Safety Training in Agriculture (HOSTA) for youth ages 14 and 15. By successfully completing the program they may legally operate farm tractors and powered machinery for hire which they otherwise would not be allowed to operate under the US Department of Labor's Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture.

Training is designed to consistently cover core content areas including safety basics, agricultural hazards, tractors, connecting and using implements with tractors and materials handling. Testing includes a written exam along with skills and driving tests.
