Farm Safety Partnership Action Plan Is Launched

October 7, 2024 By //  by Des Ingham Leave a Comment

A new 3 year plan to make farms in Northern Ireland safer has been launched. The plan is to work in collaboration with the farming community, to help to educate and advise them, to ensure all safeguards are in place so that the chance of accidents are reduced as much as possible.

The Farming Industry Is Critical To Our Economic Success

As we work with many farms, helping them with their accounting procedures, we thought it would be good to share this information with everyone. Here is what Economy Minister Conor Murphy said about this new initiative, as quoted from an article on the Business Eye website. He said:

“Our agriculture sector contributes significantly to the economy.  As an industry you are critical to our economic success, but to your colleagues, families, and friends you mean so much more.

“Many important strides have been made over the years, with the rate of fatal incidents slowly decreasing. However, they continue to happen, and one life lost in a farming accident, is one life too many. I’m pleased therefore to see the great work of the Farm Safety Partnership continuing with this new three-year plan. 

“It commits to working towards a target of zero fatalities, to educating and advising the farming community, and to giving them the tools they need to keep themselves safe, as well as their employees, and their families.  Keeping safe does not have to be complicated or costly. Small steps save lives.”

Every Serious Injury And Fatality Is A Tragedy

DAERA Minister Andrew Muir is also quoted in the same article, saying:

“There are still avoidable deaths occurring on farms in Northern Ireland. Accidents can happen, even in the most experienced hands and are a reminder of the risks faced by those working on farms. Every serious injury and fatality is a tragedy and brings devastating consequences to the front door of the farmhouse. This plan reinforces the need to improve safety on our family farms to ensure the farm is a safe environment for all family members and employees.

“Working together in a constructive way to influence positive change by implementing plans and strategies that lead to a safe environment improving farmer safety and wellbeing, and ultimately to saving the lives of those who work tirelessly to provide food for our tables, and a thriving agri-food sector benefits everyone.”

Finally just a reminder to anyone who is running a farm, we are here to help you with your accounts, please get in touch if you require any advice on 028 3752 2909.
