Erin Gailey says she wants people to be safer when they work in farming.
A farm worker is warning people of the dangers of her profession after she was hurt in two quad bike crashes in her first year in the industry.
According to the research, 20% of workplace deaths happen on farms despite farmers making up just 1% of the working population. “I was told ‘here’s the throttle of the bike, here are the brakes, the helmet is in the workshop somewhere’ and I got sent off. That was it,” she said.Erin Gailey said she broke bones in her hands and legs in the crashes
On Christmas Day 2020, she crashed with a car as she pulled out of a junction, breaking her right leg which left her unable to work for five months.
