Agri Aware has teamed up with the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science to bring two farm safety videos to participants of Agri Aware's new transition year (TY) programme 'Farm Safety First'.
Farm Safety First is Agri Aware latest TY programme offering and is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
The short video series which has been produced to compliment the programme, explores topics that cause the most accidents and fatalities on farms, machinery and livestock.
Agri Aware's Education Officer Robert Corroon is joined by Assistant Professor in Behavioural Science in Agriculture at the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science Dr. Sinéad Flannery in the videos to discuss a variety of topics including the risks associated with handling livestock, particularly in livestock handling facilities, emphasizing the importance of regular machinery spot checks, awareness of machinery blind spots, and safety around the power take-off shaft.
The short video series aims to assist those in TY in Kilkenny schools who may be undertaking farm work for their work experience or those living on or around farms.
Agri Aware, the agri-food educational body, is a charitable trust whose mission is to enhance agricultural literacy amongst the general public.
