We should hang our heads in shame at our safety record
As a farmer or farmworker, you are 21 times more likely to be killed at work than the average Briton.
If you are over the age of 45, you occupy the age bracket in which 80% of on-farm deaths occur, and if over the age of 65 the age bracket in which 33% of on-farm deaths occur.
Farmers account for some 1.5% of the workforce, but 20% of workforce deaths.
Between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023, 27 people were killed on British farms, including six members of the public.
