Mr Hodkinson added that the causes of accidents on farms are “well known” and measures to stop them are “usually straightforward” such as putting on handbrakes and fastening lap belts in cabs.
“When we investigate life-changing farm workplace incidents we find, time and time again, that risks are not being removed or managed. It is far too common for people to accept risk is an inevitable part of the job – this isn’t the case, the guidance is easily available to manage the risks and prevent injury.” However Mr Hodkinson said he was “really encouraged” that there are now some very high-profile advocates for improvement who see the real benefits for attracting and retaining people and reducing costs.
