Agricultural Tractors Update

License renewal for Agricultural Tractor Operators

AT HOME

IN THE CLASSROOM

Update of agricultural or forestry tractors, for the periodic renewal of the license of operators who use such equipment.

Legislative Decree 81/08 attributes fundamental importance to training in the management of health and safety in the workplace. The use of work equipment that requires particular knowledge and responsibility makes specific updating mandatory. The Agreement of the State-Regions Conference of 02/22/2012 detailed the duration and contents of the agricultural tractor refresher course. The training includes both theoretical and practical topics.

The agricultural tractor update lasts 4 hours and expires every five years.

Theoretical tests will be carried out to evaluate the knowledge acquired during the Agricultural Tractor Refresher Course; a participation/training/qualification certificate will be issued to those who successfully pass them.
