farm safety

whelan1

reading over on another forum of a farm safety issue. There's a 10 year old on a quad flying up and down a country road over fields etc with no helmet and getting more daring by the day, the parents have been asked to slow him down he's still at it... also he stands on the tow bar of trailer when its going up the road and hangs off side of jeep also.. i think the parents are idiots to allow this , what do ye think..I have a ds who is 10, we dont have a quad and farm safety is parmount here... could she report it to hsa?

I don't understand how this would work. Farming already comes under health and safety law. Which includes penalties etc. if found to break the law. So in essence you could have your payments cut, face penalties if found guilty of breaking H&S law plus you could have a civil case where someone comes looking for compensation.

They will have to change the cross compliance rules too which will take time and money.

Seems severe but then maybe that is what it will take to change the mentality out there.

Bit on farm safety on prime time now.

Word of warning!

We were lifting fencing posts before lunch. Using new sling instead of chain. Lifting away and with ground do hard and dry sling stretched, post released and flew towards loader windscreen.

It passed narrowly missing cab and driver landing 20m behind loader. Switched to chain and will use forever more.

Be care ful

driving down the road Saturday and the pallet forks hoped off the loader at 40k over a bump

don't know if someone had messed with the quick hitch or if it opened on its own,. I had only swapped implement that morning and definitely closed it. tractor had been parked on road side for about 90 mins.

Anyway front and back tyre in bits and hydraulic pipes bust as forks went up under the tractor and jammed between trailer drawbar and back wheel.

Will definitely be putting some safety chain on it from now on

Got a call from a neighbour this morning. Yearling bull was caught up on a gate. Both back legs were in under the top bar and he was hanging forward. Don't know how long he was there but he was rightly caught. We got a big lifting strap in behind his front lags, lifted him and drove back. I jumped the gate to get the strap off. Was jumping back again to get out of the way and he decided to get up and hit the gate. I ended up hitting the ground a wallop. Caught me on the right hip. Can feel it niggling me now.
Just got me thinking about farm safety and how we work in a lethal environment. I'd be as safety conscious as anyone, but how do you avoid something like that.

A man in a neighbouring parish found killed today in a shed with cows and calves. Terrible tragedy. RIP.

Another reminder that cows can be vicious after calving. Watch out, you can never be too careful.
