✨️ Farm Safety Week ✨️

Ireland experienced a record low in workplace fatalities in 2024, with 33 work-related deaths (30 male / 3 female)

Farming accounted for 12 fatalities, representing over a third of all workplace deaths in Ireland.

Three of these farm related deaths were as a result of an animal, two confirmed to be bulls.

Leading causes of work-related fatalities in general (including farming) were vehicle-related incidents, incidents involving heavy/falling objects, and falling from height, accounting for 64% of all fatalities.

The IFA & Teagasc this week shared some very important tips to remember regarding Farm Safety

May is Stroke Awareness Month.
Do you know the signs of a stroke?

Stroke destroys two million brain cells every minute. If you suspect that someone is having a stroke, call 112 or 999 immediately.

Effective stroke treatment is hugely time-dependent. The faster you act, the more of the person you can save.
