Farming In Ireland
▪ 139,000 Farms
▪ Circa 400,000 at Risk
- Children/ Working /Older Generation
▪ Mainly Self-employment (92%).
▪ Average age circa 58.
▪ Workload a major current issue.
▪ Culture Positive to Safety ( c 60%)
▪ Self-employment a Major OHS Challenge (ERSI)

Accident Definition
▪ Impact of energy or
impedance of a vital
body function.
▪ Multi-causal:
- Behaviour (90%)
- Physical

Research Summary
▪ Having reliable research evidence is
crucial to drive OSH programmes
▪ Research Evidence in its own right is
a valuable tool for Communicating
OSH messages.
▪ Knowledge Exchange enhances
usage of research evidence.

Victim Testimonial
▪ Powerful - needs
media budget.
▪ Useful for targeting
specific issues.
▪ ‘Halo Effect’ and ‘
Wave Effect’ –indicates
that behaviour change
is short lived.

Legal Requirements
▪ Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005
▪ ‘Do everything ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’ .
▪ Require a Risk Assessment ( 3 or less employees) or a Safety Statement.
▪ Employer has the primary duty
- provide a safe place and system of work etc

Comparison between Enforcement and
Extension ( In Extremis).
21
Dimension Enforcement Extension
Authority Legislative Trust
Engagement Limited On-going
Focus Compliance Client benefit
•Extension ‘enables’ human development. Making
progress is multi-factorial and extension plays a
crucial enabling role.
• Extension now called ‘Knowledge Brokering’ and
is applied also to Research Adoption.
• ‘Intermediaries’ influence OSH Adoption.
![Page 22: ‘Effective communications to · 2019-05-13 · Dr John McNamara Geo-demographic study (H.S.A.) Dr David Meredith Animal Welfare and Safety Dr Mickeal Mazurek. Impact of Disability](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050501/5f9403ac11b69a385174dcd0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
OSH Inspections in Ireland
▪ Positively received
▪ Campaigns – Specific Focus: Livestock; Machinery; Falls from Heights
▪ Media Coverage and Reporting on Findings.
▪ Enforcement/ Prosecution
▪ Behaviour Change – limited effect on long term behaviour change ( Rich, 1999)

Objectives in Sacurima
▪ 1) Identify and evaluate agricultural health and safety programmes and approaches on the national level;
▪ 2) Identify knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and priorities among farmers regarding safety, health and risk management;
▪ 3) Identify effective models for training and integrating vulnerable populations (including refugees and young workers) into the agricultural workforce;
▪ 4) Develop means and indicators for monitoring progress and evaluating impact of interventions on injuries and illnesses in agriculture; and
▪ 5) Disseminate results to stakeholders and the agricultural community.
