Watch again: Farm safety debate
TO mark the launch of the new Farm Safety Charter, Farmers Guardian held a live internet debate.
Watch again to find out what our panelists and readers had to say about why Britain’s farms have such an appalling safety record and, more importantly, what we should we be doing about it.
Our three debate panelists were:
Graeme Walker, the Health and Safety Executive’s head of agriculture.
Peter Garbutt, the NFU’s farm safety adviser.
Mark Mather, a farmer whose story is featured in the HSE’s ‘Make the promise: Come home safe campaign’ http://www.hse.gov.uk/agriculture/makethepromise/farmersstories/transport/markmather.htm
