One death every two weeks on UK farms innovative solutions to be launched at meeting

  • May 10, 2021
  • 9:58 am

34 people died on-farm in the UK during the last 12 months (HSE March 2021), with the greatest risk coming from machinery, working at a height or with livestock.

Innovations to improve on farm safety are to be announced at an Agri-TechE event on 24th May, including a machinery audit activated by QR code, an innovative risk assessment tool, and motion sensor alerts for moving machinery.

Agri-TechE director Dr Belinda Clarke comments: “One of the consequences of Covid-19 is that more people are using digital technologies for a greater range of applications. This creates a huge opportunity for making safety and compliance part of the culture on-farm. It would be possible to embed safety into the workplace by making it easy to access timely information, record incidents as they happen and set up alerts to danger.”

At the event – ‘Improving Farm Safety with Innovative Agri-Tech’ – Farm365 is to launch a machinery safety and audit app that is triggered by scanning a QR code located on the equipment; Safe Ag Systems will preview a free interactive risk assessment tool that enables compliance with ISO31000; and Pathfindr are to discuss a wearable that alerts the user to moving machinery.

To hear more on how farm tech can play a role in preventing injury and death, join speakers Katy Landt, CEO of Safe Ag Systems, Elizabeth Creed, CEO of Farm365, Ben Sturgess, Founder and CTO of Pathfindr, and Stuart McClimont, Technical and Standards Director at the Agricultural Engineers Association, with chair Ben Turner, Director of Ben Burgess, for the Agri-TechE event: ‘Improving Farm Safety with Innovative Agri-Tech’ on Monday 24th May at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
