Description	The list is based on the following regulations
The checklist is used by the responsible manager for the investigation of the work environment. The safety representative should be involved, and employees should also be included in the investigation as well as in the design and implementation of measures. This checklist should be used after Prevent's Checklist Agriculture - General, which contains sections 1. supervision and 2. workplace. This supplementary checklist, section 3, is available in several different designs depending on the production line.

Question	Risk assessment:
	Low	Medium	High
1. Can tyres be stored safely without the risk of tipping?
2. Is the thickness of the ice checked?
3. Is the sunroof open?
4. Is there a Swedish instruction manual for the tractor?
5. Is the load-bearing structure in the driver's cab intact and without major rust attacks?
6. Is the driver's seat intact and securely fastened (without any gaps)?
7. Does the suspension and vibration damping work in the driver's seat?
8. Can the seat be adjusted so that the driver can vary their sitting position and the seat can be adapted to everyone who drives?
9. Are there bothersome vibrations in the steering wheel or controls?
10. Are the tractor cab vibration dampers checked regularly? (They no longer cushion when hard and stiff.)
11. Can awkward postures (twisting of the neck and back) be avoided by using mirrors or monitors?
12. Is there air conditioning in the cab?
13. Are the appropriate dust-reducing filters used in the fresh air intakes when driving in dusty environments?
14. Is the floor at the operator's station free of tools or other loose parts?

16. Are the steps intact and clean, as well as angled safely?
17. Do door locks and doorstops work?
18. Does the service brake function properly, without the tractor pulling to one side when braking?
19. Is the steering brake lock always engaged when driving on the road?
20. Can the handbrake handle a 10% gradient?
21. Do the tractors and trailers have work lights, daytime running lights, and turn signals?
22. Are the rear-view mirrors intact and adjustable?
23. Does the tractor have an LGF (slow-moving vehicle) plate or a km sign at the rear when driving on the road?
24. Are all controls clearly labeled?
25. Do you take breaks during long driving sessions?
26. Is there lifting equipment for tires?
27. Is an extension nipple used so that you can stand to the side of the tire when pumping?
