Farmers urged to consider grant 'to keep farming families safe'

Records show that, over the past decade, there were on average 19 fatal incidents on Irish farms each year, accounting for more than two in five of all workplace fatalities. 

Farmers are being urged to consider a grant to "help keep farming families safe".

Macra is encouraging all members to 'take five to stay alive' by assessing safety measures on-farm and taking the appropriate precautions.
