T he pack, worth £ 60, consists of a helmet and pair of gloves and is available on all models registered between 24th July and 24th August 2017. This offer is part of Honda’ s long-standing commitment to the safe and responsible use of its products. Honda has also offered free EASI ®( European All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute) training, on all purchases of an ATV or SxS since 2005. The EASI courses aim to improve operator skills, safety levels and awareness of the capabilities of ATV and SxS products. Farm Safety Week, running from 24th – 28th July 2017, aims to raise awareness and promote education of taking safety seriously in agriculture. The initiative is supported by Yellow Wellies, the Farm Safety Foundation, Farm Safety Partnerships, the Health & Safety Executive, Health & Safety Executive for Northern Ireland and the Health & Safety Authority, Ireland.
Steve Morris, Head of Power Products for Honda( UK) comments:“ As the UK’ s leading manufacturer of ATVs we take our commitment to safe and
|
responsible usage incredibly seriously. While we naturally do everything we can to make our machines as safe as possible, it is also down to the user to take some very simple steps to ensure that they stay safe – not least wearing a helmet and gloves, undertaking some rider training and keeping their investment well maintained. We are delighted to be supporting the vital work of the wider industry by doing our bit to help promote farm safety.”
Farm Safety Week UK & Ireland has been timed to take place alongside the Royal Welsh Show and there is one clear message
|
this year – that farm safety is a LIFESTYLE, not a SLOGAN – as farming continues to have one of the poorest safety records of any occupation in the UK and Ireland. The latest annual figures from the Health and Safety Executive show that out of 137 people killed or fatally injured in workplace accidents last year, 27 worked in agriculture, and that fatal injury rates in the sector are 18 times higher than the five-year average for all industries.
