A message from HSENI:
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland is committed to eliminating incidents on farms that in the past have resulted in children being killed or injured. Through our “Be aware kids - Child safety on farms” campaign we have seen a significant reduction in such accidents, however we can never be complacent and must all work together to promote this important message.
We wish to promote our farm safety poster competition which we have been running successfully now for a number of years as we feel this is also an excellent way of getting our importantsafety messages out to farming families. This year we need your help and support more than ever to run our competition
Each week we will invite entries from one of the categories below. The theme for each week will be announced every Monday on HSENI’s Facebook page and on our website www.hseni.gov.uk.
Each picture must be hand painted or hand drawn and they must relate to one of the key Farm Safety topics, namely:
a.
Slurry Safety
b.
Animal Safety
c.
Falls/falling objects safety on the farm
d.
Equipment and vehicles safety on the farm
All entries must be submitted portrait style on plain A3 or A4 paper.
All entries should be emailed as a photograph or scanned picture to safestart@hseni.gov.uk. The child’s name, school, age and a contact tel no for a responsible adult (i.e. parent or guardian) should be supplied in the email and not be included on the front of the poster.
All entries must be submitted by 4pm every Friday (from w/c 1st June 2020 to 21st August 2020) and the winner will be notified by 5pm no later than the Wednesday of the following week.
Prizes for each of the 12 winning entries will be a £30 gift voucher for each individual child for each week.
