FBD will do 30,000 farm safety visits

FBD has committed to undertake 30,000 farm visits in 2015 for insurance surveys, to help farmers identify where safety could be improved.

With farm deaths doubling to 30 in 2014, FBD has welcomed the support of Connacht footballers for its Champions for Change campaign to push for a change in behaviour towards risks in farming.

Key players in the FBD Connacht GAA Senior League, who are active farmers, have helped create farm safety videos.
