Safety campaign on way

A TRAINING programme for farmers will be rolled out shortly as part of the Health and Safety Authority’s largest ever farm safety public awareness campaign.

The campaign will support the new Agriculture Code of Practice, which was sent to every farmer.

The “Code of Practice for the Prevention of Accidents and Occupational Ill Health in Agriculture” offers practical guidance to farmers, farm family members, employees, service providers, advisers, trainers and persons with a role in safety and health in agriculture.
