SafeHabitus Webinar: Understanding the number of injuries in EU agriculture

Self-employed farmers and their family members make up the majority of farm workers in the EU, yet the methodology for reporting European statistics on accidents at work does not require the reporting of injuries sustained by these groups. Due to the lack of reporting and the underreporting of injuries, the available data does not reflect the reality of occupational safety on European farms.In this SafeHabitus webinar on understanding the number of injuries in EU agriculture, we will look at the importance of complete data in fostering the development of effective policies to improve working conditions on family farms across Europe. The speakers will present their findings on the importance of farm accident reporting, including:The findings of the SafeHabitus farm accident data collection studyAn Ireland case study on the use of fatal farm accident data for safety promotion, and a Finland case study on farm insurance accident dataJointhe SafeHabitus webinar “Understanding the number of injuries in EU agriculture” on 09 September 2024 from 15:00 to 16:30 CET.AboutSafeHabitusSafeHabitus is a Horizon Europe project that aims to strengthen Farm Health and Safety Knowledge Innovation Systems (FHS KIS) and support the EU transition to social sustainability in farming.
