[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7668474, member: 818"] Given the average age of the people dying in farm accidents, is it really very useful to be highlighting farm safety on social media and Tik Tok? How many 60+ year olds (who comprise approx. 50% of farm deaths remember) are going to be looking at those? This is a typical modern PR/media types 'campaign' that ticks all the boxes of 'social inclusion' and use of technology, and misses by a country mile the actual problem - farming is an industry heavily populated by elderly people (usually men) doing dangerous work that their bodies can no longer protect them from. When are we going to see a campaign aimed at getting these elderly people to realise they can't do what they used to do, and they should slow down or stop doing it? Instead of 20 somethings chattering away at other 20 somethings on social media? [/QUOTE]
