Farm Health & Safety Farming Note

Behind each statistic of farm injury or death is a tragic story, a devastating impact on families and often to the farm business as well. It is essential that farmers take responsibility for health and safety issues, make sure that all employees are working in a safe environment and are aware of the risks associated with the jobs they are being asked to do.

This Farming Note covers:

• Why accidents happen
• Risk assessments
• Reducing and controlling risk
• Essential warning signs
