[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7668506, member: 45282"] Try reading what is written before reacting. No one is saying that all farmers don't plan work, but that most accidents could be avoided by better planning, risk assessments etc. The fact that most farmers have been "doing it for years" probably means it's about time they had a fresh look at how they do "it" to see if there's a safer way to do it. As for the argument that farming can't "afford" to work safely, well that's just b ollocks! 99% of farmers will spend £thousands on shiny new toys before they even think of paying for a bit of safety advice. And do you really think every other industry was rolling in money before they took H&S seriously? No, they prioritised spending to look after their staff as they realised the hidden costs. As for long working hours, that's just poor management Safe working is 99% attitude, 1% money [/QUOTE]
