NFU Regional Policy Manager Charles Hesketh said: “It’s vital that we do everything we can do improve the industry’s poor safety record and these events are an effective way to highlight safer ways of working.
“A few hours spent at one of our workshops could literally be a lifesaver back on the farm.”
