Farm Safety Week
19th – 25th July 2026
This year’s National Farm Safety Week campaign, Set the Standard: Show ’em how it’s done is all about the role we play in shaping what’s normal on farm.
Every day, the way we do things, whether it’s cutting corners or doing it properly, is being watched and picked up by those around us.
This campaign is about leading by example, calling out the small decisions that matter, and showing what safe, practical farming actually looks like in real life.
