Typically lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, these pre-built discussions can easily be added to regular team meetings or break time activities to help you efficiently update your whole team on important safety procedures.

Quick ways to improve safety on farm

Our Guides offer you quick tips on how you can improve practices on farm.

Backed up by data from the Health and Safety Executive, these quick guides give a good introduction to the most common causes of injuries and fatalities on farms, plus imporant information on how to reduce the risks associated with them. 

The two guides here look at essential advice around basic farm safety, plus extra tips on working with machinery.

What is the Farm Safety Foundation?

Farm Safety Week is organised by the Farm Safety Foundation, aka Yellow Wellies. An independent charity, the foundation works hard to help farmers and growers build safer working practices and reduce unecessary risk-taking across the industry.

As well as Farm Safety Week, the foundation also organises the annual Mind Your Head campaign, which seeks to raise awareness of the mental health issues farmers and growers face in their jobs.
