The Farm Safety Foundation (Yellow Wellies) organises Farm Safety Week each year. In 2025 it is taking place between 21 and 25 July.
At Mates in Mind, we know that good health means being both mentally and physically well. Our research found that some health conditions (e.g., headaches or migraines, arthritis or joint pain, eye strain etc.) can contribute to an elevated risk of workplace accidents if they affect mood, concentration, coordination or vigilance. Therefore, in order to improve safety, both physical and mental health need to be considered, and any issues identified must be addressed if required.
