HSE focus on workplace transport safety Agriculture has the worst rate of deaths and injuries (per 100,000 workers) of all sectors in Great Britain.  Incidents involving vehicles are the number one cause of deaths on British farms, killing 48 people in the past 5 years.  HSE has launched the âWork Right Agriculture. Your farm. Your futureâ campaign highlighting simple vehicle safety advice to help keep everyone on the farm safe.   We want to make 2023 a safer year on our farms by working together. Weâre asking farmers in England, Scotland and Wales to consider three simple areas of their daily farming activities and take steps to prevent another farming tragedy.  What would happen to your family and your farm if you were seriously injured and unable to work? Now is the time to act, before itâs too late.  We have advice for anyone working in agriculture.  Simple steps to protect your farm and your future With the significant pressure on British farmers at this time, we want to offer support to the farming community and show that farm safety doesnât need to be difficult or expensive.  When you start your daily routine today, follow our 'safe farm, safe driver, safe vehicle' advice to help you plan the job and complete it safely.
