In this module we learned the importance of preparing and staying safe when on a farm visit and what the various safety signs mean. We looked at key areas around the farm and the hazards relevant to these areas. In our 1st-6th classes we discussed what slurry is and why farmers must be careful when using it, electricity safety and the countryside code.
