HSA launches testimonials from farmers whose lives have been affected by farm accidents

Source: Health & Safety Authority, Ireland

In an attempt to redress the disproportionately high levels of serious farm accidents and deaths, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has created a series of testimonials available on DVD and online.

These survivor-stories where farmers tell their accounts about accidents that happened to them and the effects on their families and friends were made in conjunction with Macra and the Farm Safety Partnership. The IFA’s James Murphy is one of the farmers who volunteered to talk about the effects of a farm tragedy.

The stories can be viewed on youtube, facebook or http://hsa.agtel.ie/
