Stay Farm Safe

HSENI has launched a new farm safety campaign aimed at promoting the safety of older farmers in Northern Ireland.

In the past 10 years over half of the 61 farm related deaths in Northern Ireland occurred amongst farmers aged 65 or over with the main causes of death involving the handling of livestock, the use of  machinery and falls from height.

The campaign, which is fully supported by the Ulster Farmers Union, is targeted at all those in the farming community who have an influence on older farmers such as partners, children, grandchildren and friends to reinforce the message of thinking twice about personal safety while carrying out daily farm work.
