Posted By A Fergusson I am looking to produce a guidance sheet to help farms comply with Health & Safety, I have already got some information from the HSE but wondered if anyone else had carried out this project before, or had information or support that I could use.

Posted By A Fergusson Thank Ciaran a very useful link.

Posted By Chris Huckle We have used the free HSE publication Farmwise (MISC 165) as a starting point in raising awareness amongst our farm staff. There is a fair bit of useful infromation. Chris

Posted By Jerry Tucker Hi I'm one of the instructors on the H.S.E.'s (FARM WISE ROAD SHOWS) The organiser is Dave Gould (Nottingham H.S.E. office)(0115 9712800) He may be worth a call to determin the areas that the accident statistics show need addressing. On the road shows we cover falls fom height pestisides manual handling telliscopic handlers p.t.o's entangelments( with say blockages) quad bikes animal handling hitching and unhitching equipment etc. All the above are in the MAJOR INGUARY CAT. that the H.S.E. are conserned about. As you seam to be covering a broad cross section of farms there does not appear to be a simple answer, but on the 'Events' the feeling that we (the instructors ) get is that the main causes of accidents are- phycoligical (?) (it won't happen to me) lack of finance to do maintainance ignorance lack of time hope this is helpfull feel free to E-mail with any spesific conserns. cheers Jerry
