New Health and Safety Executive analysis shows agriculture to have second highest number of deaths in the year from April 2025 – March 2026
Many farmers will know of someone who has died in a farm accident, which is why RABI encouraged everyone at Cereals last week (June 11) to download the new ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Aid app for potentially life-saving instructions in the event of a serious accident
Prof Stuart Maitland-Knibb explains why the first few minutes after a serious on-farm incident can decide survival, and how RABI's ²ÝÁñÉçÇøAid app aims to help people act sooner
Many are being urged not to take unnecessary risks as the number of fatalities is up 7 compared to the previous year (2024/25 April to March period) which saw 23 deaths
