Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Farm Safety: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Alma Jordan:

When we attended the Teagasc dairy day in Fermoy last week, it was wonderful to see SPF dispensers. These were all around the field where farmers could actually put it on. It is about the normalisation of looking after your skin. The Irish Cancer Society is very active at this time of year giving statistics and tips. The Irish Cancer Society runs a safe sun campaign at these times of the year. Within AgriKids we have a module on farmer safety and well-being, including a lot around diet, rest and skin care. So we are starting them young.
