I am looking for links to information regarding government programs and training projects in occupational safety and health in primary, secondary, high school and vocational education.

Some authors and institutions from different countries recommend not to use safety belts in agricultural tractors that do not have ROPS. They justify it because of the impossibility of leaving the vehicle in case of rollover and the severity of the damage suffered by tractor drivers.
But other authors indicate that It is impossible to react quickly enough to jump clear of a rolling tractor. If an operator isn’t struck by the tractor when he or she is thrown off, it is likely they may be struck or crushed by the equipment or load hitched to the tractor.
Do you have data to support this decision?
Do you share the relevance of this recommendation?
Thanks in advance.
