Farm Vehicle Safety: Give us your two cents

This is Patrick's two cents, what's yours? Vehicles are almost always involved when someone dies as a result of a farm accident. WorkSafe recorded 22 quad bike-related fatalities from 2019 – 2023. The majority involved rollovers. It’s time to put the brakes on vehicle-related harm. At Safer Farms, we want to hear from those who know farm vehicles best – the people driving them. Have you had a close call? Has something happened to someone you know? What are your current views around farm vehicle safety? What are you doing to keep you or your people safer on farm? What needs to change? Give us your two cents by 25 March and it could be worth $500. Have your say at www.farmwithoutharm.org.nz Share this with your mates and get involved.

when everything's going well we consider our risks and we take calculated um calculated efforts to make sure we're right but when we're distracted when we're complacent when we're fatigued when we're under pressure like we are now there's a lot of pressures going on in farming it's those moments where uh that complacency or that distraction the M's not in the same place and we take an extra risk or or push the boat a little bit harder than what we should doesn't matter if you're the junior Sheph
