Abstract The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated three deaths and 31 serious injuries between 1986 and 1999 that were a direct result of carrying passengers on farm trailers. Whenever people are transported around the farm, the vehicle they are being carried on must be suitable for the purpose and the safe system of work (safe working practices) must be followed. Aimed at anyone who uses a trailer to move people around on a farm it sets out the features a trailer should have if it is used for carrying passengers and it gives advice on safe systems of work. It only considers on-farm use (ie away from the public highway). Contents: Introduction; Towing vehicle; Trailer; Trailers in regular use for workers or for carrying members of the public; Trailers used for workers on an exceptional basis; Safe system of work; Legal requirements; References; Further information.
Keywords Guidance; Agriculture industry; drivers; PUWER; Provision and use of work equipment regulations
