National Farm Safety Week is a timely reminder that the best investment on any farm is one that helps you get home safely at the end of the day.

As part of this year's National Farm Safety Week, I've been helping farmers identify and source equipment available under the TAMS Farm Safety Capital Investment Scheme that can reduce risk and improve day-to-day safety on farms.

The photos below highlight some of the practical investments currently available, including equipment designed to improve livestock handling, reduce manual lifting, improve yard safety, and make everyday farm tasks safer. These are some of the TAMS investment claims we have completed this year.

  • ✅ Reduce risk
  • ✅ Improve efficiency
  • ✅ Avail of grant aid through TAMS
  • ✅ Invest in the future of your farm

If you're considering a farm safety investment and would like advice on eligible items, grant rates, or submitting a TAMS application, feel free to get in touch.
