The Health and Safety Authority (HSA), which is under the remit of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, has statutory responsibility for safety in the workplace including the safety of young people operating tractors on farms.
The FRS Co-Op delivers a course which is specifically designed to develop the safety skills of 14 to 16-year-olds in relation to tractor driving. The course covers both the theory and practice relating to tractor handling for on-farm use. The course is delivered nationwide throughout the year. Many of the sessions are delivered to students as part of their transition year activities.
