Vehicle safety on farms
Films to improve safety on the farm.
This DVD consists of the following farm safety films:
- Riding for a fall - features dramatic representations and real life cases to emphasise the need for training to ensure safe driving of ATVs.
- A ridge too far - a useful reminder of basic ATV safety procedures, covering checking tyre pressures, steering and brakes, how to load an ATV, towing trailers, stability and negotiating steep hillsides safely.
- Fatal traction - highlights the dangers and gives practical advice to agriculture and forestry workers on how to avoid them. It includes graphic reconstructions of fatal accidents and interviews with families of victims and gives examples of simple control measures that can help reduce the risks.
- Tractor action - uses realistic dramatisations to describe safe working practices for tractor operation. It is aimed at younger workers but is also of value to any users of tractors or tractor-operated machinery.
- Safe driving on slopes - informs and instructs people on the dangers and safe methods of driving farm vehicles and machinery on slopes.
Also included are several Worksmart clips from HSE’s website.
