[QUOTE="robs1, post: 7668405, member: 1290"] fact, many of the measures that can be taken to make the job safer don’t cost a penny. Most ‘incidents’ happen either because the work is not properly planned, the risks are not recognised, proper precautions are not taken, or the equipment used is either defective, not appropriate, or used incorrectly. . Sorry but that paragraph is a load of patronising crap. Im not for a second disagreeing Farming has a very poor record and every life lost is a tragedy for the family involved, however no other industry apart from perhaps fishing has to deal with the weather and the pressure that brings, tiredness is a major cause of accidents, many one/two men bands work extremely long hours during parts of the year and have no choice in it, yes someone will come along and say get help, where from ? There is no supply of skilled workers sitting around waiting for a call they are all flat out too. To say that farmers dont plan the work is again highly patronising, most have been doing it for years and can do it with their eyes shut, we ALL know the dangers, it's not taking the risk when under stress thats the hard part and is the most difficult thing to learn, perhaps a campaign to shame the buyers to pay directly for any hse repairs or equipment might result in less " defective or inappropriate " equipment, every other industry passes on the cost ag cant . I could say a lot more but will leave it there, perhaps I'm tired after all I like thousands of others have been doing 16 plus hours a day the last week or so and pretty pee'd of bring preached at by someone who has little idea of the reality [/QUOTE]
