I welcome our guests. Mr. Martin O'Halloran mentioned that there were 2,500 farm visits per annum. How are the farms selected for visits? Are the visits announced? Does the farmer know in advance that a farm safety inspection is to take place? Where safety issues have been identified, is there a follow-up, and, if so, at what level? Would the representatives support the concept of a certification, similar to the Safe Pass that applies on a building site, to enable one to work on a farm?
