The role of the Wales Farm Safety Partnership (WFSP) is to raise awareness of farm safety. So this is well-known farmer, Lantra instructor and farm safety mentor Brian Rees shares his advice with Alun Elidyr, one of the WFSP's Ambassadors for driving tractors safely on slopes.
“You should routinely carry out maintenance of all farm vehicles but before any task where you’ll be working on slopes, there are additional checks and a critical ‘grip test’ you should always carry out,” says Brian.
“Remember too that if you plan to work alone, always carry a phone and tell someone else where you are working.”
