| Abstract |
During the last ten years almost one person a week has been killed on average in agricultural accidents in the United Kingdom. Many more have been seriously injured or made ill by their work. This guide is aimed at all persons working on farms, whether employer, employee or self-employed, to help identify the causes of injuries and ill health, eliminate hazards and implement prevention measures. The first part covers managing health and safety. The other sections cover specific risks and provide easy-to-follow, practical advice for implementing prevention measures. Replaces CIS 99-1465. |
