Deadline extended for National Farm Safety Measure as new quad bike rules loom
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.
The deadline for applications for the new National Farm Safety Measure has been extended to October 27.
The measure has been introduced by the Department of Agriculture to incentivise the purchase and use of certain farm safety equipment, which protect farmers and machinery operators from serious and fatal injuries.
