Health and Safety Resources and Information

Health and safety in farming is vital to prevent accidents, injuries, and long-term health issues, especially given the high-risk nature of agricultural work. In Wales, farmers are encouraged to follow the Farm Health and Safety Charter and use resources like the HSE's Farmwise guide and the Welsh Government's working together booklet. Training and advice are available through Farming Connect, including practical courses and e-learning. Mental health support is equally important, with organisations like FarmWell Wales, the Farming Community Network, and DPJ Foundation offering free, confidential help. Staying informed and trained is key to a safer, healthier future in farming.
