Our Clinicians Make Sure You Feel Ready

Why Farms Need Specialist First Aid.
According to the HSE, agriculture accounts for around 20% of all workplace fatalities despite employing just 1% of the workforce. Many incidents happen far from the nearest emergency services, making immediate first aid essential.
Common farm emergencies include:
Machinery entanglements (PTO shafts, augers, balers)
Crush injuries from vehicles or falling objects
Livestock-related trauma (kicks, crushes, bites)
Chemical or pesticide exposure
Severe bleeding from tools or equipment
Anaphylaxis from stings or bites
Head injuries, fractures, and spinal trauma
