Fatalities due to tractor overturns have long plagued the U.S. farm community. Constituting 20% of agricultural fatalities, tractor overturns contribute significantly to high rates of fatal injuries. In the past, many efforts have been directed toward reducing tractor overturns, with one successful US-based program offering rebates to farmers who retrofit their tractors with rollover protective structures (ROPS). In an effort to expand the program, the National Tractor Safety Coalition was formed. This coalition hosted a "Whole System in the Room" workshop to bring 50 stakeholders together. During this workshop, participants worked together to identify a common vision for the future of tractor safety and ROPS programs and commit to action. At the close of the workshop, coalition members set out to begin work on 100 short- and long-term commitments to begin implementing a National ROPS Rebate Program.
拖拉机翻车导致的死亡事故长期以来一直困扰着美国农业社区。拖拉机翻车事故占农业死亡事故的20%，在高致命伤发生率中占很大比例。过去，人们为减少拖拉机翻车事故做出了许多努力，美国有一个成功的项目，为那些给拖拉机加装翻车保护结构（ROPS）的农民提供回扣。为了扩大该项目，成立了全国拖拉机安全联盟。该联盟举办了一次“房间里的整个系统”研讨会，将50名利益相关者聚集在一起。在这次研讨会上，参与者共同努力，为拖拉机安全和ROPS项目的未来确定一个共同愿景，并承诺采取行动。研讨会结束时，联盟成员着手开始制定100项短期和长期承诺，以启动实施全国ROPS回扣项目。
