Farm Risk and Accidents Report Launch

This report examines a number of different types of risks that farmers take and looks at whether they are associated with accidents or “near misses” on the farm. The authors of Risk taking and Accidents on Irish Farms draw on a survey of over 800 male, self-employed farmers commissioned by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) in 2013.
