[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7540017, member: 946"] I think people see the big company H&S approach, which largely revolves around them covering their arse, confuse it with basic safety at farm level and just switch off. If you don't employ anyone and aren't interested in making your day to day life safer, there isn't really much anyone can do for you. If you employ staff or have contractors on farm, you have to lift your game and at least show its safe to have people on your farm. It does seem that farm deaths involving employees are very low, so maybe employers are trying? Not sure about injuries. Common sense gets mentioned a lot and is often all that's needed but if you look at the deaths and serious injuries, its fairly obvious that common sense was having a day off in most cases. [/QUOTE]
