The overturned tractor and trailer suggest a hitching failure or improper load balance during operation. This indicates the hitch was either not secured correctly or the terrain and slope were not adequately assessed beforehand. Such rollover incidents pose serious risks of injury or death to the operator and damage to equipment.
Always perform a thorough hazard assessment before hitching equipment, including checking terrain slope, load distribution, and hitch security. Use manufacturer-approved hitching systems and ensure all pins, clips, and connections are properly locked. Operators must receive training on safe hitching practices and rollover prevention.
