Farm Safety Week - James Chapman: "When you are in those dark moments, it can be an extremely lonely place"
Manage episode 430868975 series 3490992
On the podcast this week Farmers Guardian reporter Chris Brayford is joined by Farm Safety Foundation’s chair of trustees James Chapman for a special insight into farm safety. It is a very important week for the industry which marks Farm Safety Week, an annual initiative which places a spotlight on farming’s poor safety record, as well as the need to keep everyone safe on farms. The Health and Safety Executive released data on Monday (July 22) from the last year which found 35 people had died in farm-related incidents, which included the deaths of two children, in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We often hear of the deeply moving accounts from those who have survived incidents on farm, as well as the tragic cases of those killed during incidents, and the way it has impacted families and friends. For those who survived, like James, it has changed their outlook of farming and has ignited a flame to help others in keeping safe so that what happened to them can be avoided in the future. If you don’t know James, or Jim, he is a farmer from Warwickshire who has been a passionate advocate for farm safety ever since losing his left arm in a PTO shaft machine back in January 2005. We recorded the interview during the Farm Safety Foundation’s tenth anniversary for a two-part special where we discussed health and safety on farm, his own experiences of being involved in an on-farm incident which changed his life completely, the importance of Yellow Wellies' work, and what the industry can do to tackle its poor safety record.
