Farm safety competition

27th May 2020

A message from HSENI:

The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland is committed to eliminating incidents on farms that in the past have resulted in children being killed or injured.  Through our “Be aware kids - Child safety on farms” campaign we have seen a significant reduction in such accidents, however we can never be complacent and must all work together to promote this important message.

 

We wish to promote our farm safety poster competition which we have been running successfully now for a number of years as we feel this is also an excellent way of getting our importantsafety messages out to farming families. This year we need your help and support more than ever to run our competition
