Farming remains one of the most dangerous occupations in the UK.

The aim of Health and Safety in Farming is to serve as a location for curated information comprising articles, news, help and advice for those in the farming community looking for help with health and safety issues.

According to the HSE’s website there were 30 fatalities in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry. Although down on the 36 in 2014/2015 this still leaves a lot of room for improvement.
