Farm Safety Foundation

Informasi umum

The Farm Safety Foundation was established by NFU Mutual in 2014 as a charity to engage the farmers of the future and help raise awareness of farm safety, change attitudes towards farming safely and reduce the toll of injuries and fatalities which bring a catalogue of heartbreak and misery to numerous families and rural communities every year.

Figures published by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) in 2014 revealed that in 2013/2014 31 men, women and children lost their lives and significantly more were badly injured as a result of farming activities.

Against this backdrop, 2015 will see the Farm Safety Foundation continue its efforts to encourage young farmers to think about safety in the hope that the number of accidents, whether major or minor, decrease and lives are saved.
