At this year’s Balmoral Show, the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) has joined forces with the Farm Families Health Checks Programme and Rural Support to highlight important health and safety issues facing the farming community.
The joint stand will offer a wide range of information and advice for farmers, and their families, to help them stay safe and healthy on the farm.
HSENI will focus on farm safety relating to the ongoing Stop and Think SAFE campaign, including working at height, and will run practical demonstrations on Quad bike safety and chainsaw maintenance.
Representatives from The Northern Ireland Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) Branch will also be jointly manning the stand, so please call over for advice and information on farm safety.
