The third episode of the Farm Safety Survivor Series brought to you by Agriland, in association with AXA and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), highlights the dangers associated with farm machinery.
In today’s podcast, Agriland news journalist Rubina Freiberg speaks to Aengus Mannion from Co. Sligo who was left seriously injured after he was crushed by a teleporter in 2009, and Teagasc farm machinery and milking machine specialist, Francis Quigley.
In May 2009, Mannion was herding cattle when a teleporter hit him from behind, ramming him into a tree. Having sustained serious leg injuries, the beef farmer underwent over 20 operations over a three-year period in hospital.
