Agriculture podcast episode released

Have you listened to our HSE podcast on farm safety?

HSE’s Agriculture Sector Lead, Adrian Hodkinson, is joined by safety instructor and farmer, Brian Rees to discuss simple vehicle safety tips to help keep everyone on the farm safe.    

 


Workplace transport campaign survey

In March HSE launched our ‘Work Right Agriculture. Your farm. Your future’ campaign highlighting advice for a safe farm, safe vehicle and being a safe driver.   

 

Following recent campaign activity, we're asking for your support in our efforts to improve communications with those working in farming.

 

To assist us, please complete our short survey on vehicle safety in agriculture. Any answers you give will be kept anonymous. Thank you.

Stay safe around cattle in the countryside

Now we are well into spring, more people will be going into the countryside to stretch their legs and enjoy Britain’s stunning landscapes. 

While the vast majority of walkers enjoy the countryside safely and use the extensive network of footpaths, bridleways, and public access land without any problems, going through fields where there are cattle can be hazardous.

More information for those intending to keep cattle in fields and enclosures.

Farmers can learn more about managing their animals in our information sheet. 

 

It suggests reasonably practicable ways of controlling hazards for walkers and other rights of way users such as horse riders and cyclists.
