SHARING OPTIONS:
Contractors argue that tachographs are not a viable option due to the short window in which the silage harvest must take place. \ Philip Doyle
Contractors from around the country have condemned the Health and Safety Authority’s (HSA) suggestion that tachographs in tractors could prevent fatalities during the silage season.

Contractors argue that tachographs are not a viable option due to the short window in which the silage harvest must take place.
