I notice that the HSA's remit extends to outdoor workers being exposed to UV rays. That is interesting. In my town and area in the past week, we have had severe weather and flooding. I also notice there is a section on the HSA website dealing with flooding and so on, which is good to see. One of the most difficult areas where we see a lot of fatalities and injuries is farms. What are Ms Byron's thoughts on how we can better engage with farmers and people working in the agricultural community to cut down on the number of accidents and fatalities?
