WHAT’S AT STAKE

The Power Take-Off (PTO) shafts may seem like just another moving part, but they’re incredibly dangerous when left unguarded. In just a split second, a spinning shaft can grab onto loose clothing, gloves, or even a stray shoelace — and pull a worker in with devastating force. These incidents often result in life-altering injuries like amputations, crushed bones, or even death. The real tragedy is that most of these accidents are preventable. When PTO guards are missing, broken, or ignored, workers are left exposed to a hazard that doesn’t stop — it just keeps spinning.
