25 Farm Fatalities in 2010
Share: 
25 people were killed on Irish farms in 2010. This is a huge increase compared to 10 in 2009.
Health and Safety Authority will be increasing the number of farm inspections in 2011 to prevent further fatalities. A dedicated inspectorate for the farming sector has been established. It is planned to complete 3,000 farm inspections in 2011.
The prime aim of all inspections is to improve health and safety management on farms, but enforcement action will also be taken, if required.
The total number of workplace fatalities in 2010 stands at 47 (compared to 43 in 2009).
