Farmers asked to make a promise

31st December 2008

Farmers around the UK are being asked to make a special promise in 2009: to come home safely.


The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is launching a new campaign in January aimed at decreasing the number of agricultural related accidents and injuries.



Just three months ago, an inquest in Northamptonshire heard that a farmer was killed when a tipping trailer, used for storing animal feed, overbalanced and crushed him.


The sleepers that were used to support the trailer were rotten and collapsed under the weight of the feed.


Full details of the new HSE scheme will be revealed in January.
