Preventing accidents to children on farms

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have produced guidance on how to prevent accidents to children on farms.

Agriculture has one of the highest fatal injury rates of any industry in Great Britain but is the only high-risk industry that has to deal with the constant presence of children. Farms are homes as well as workplaces, and visitors, including children, may also be present on farms.

You can find advice and guidance in the HSE’s publication Preventing accidents to children on farms.
 
HSE's agriculture website has a range of resources to help farmers manage risks appropriately, as well as further guidance about keeping children safe on the farm
