  • Farm Safety: Taking a Moment to Protect Lives
    Feb 4 2026

    In this episode of the Mole Valley Farmers podcast, we focus on farm safety which is an issue that continues to affect farming families and communities across the UK.

    In the last reporting year, 23 people lost their lives in farm-related accidents. Tragically, in the current year — which runs until the end of March — that figure has already risen to 27 deaths, including three children.

    Joined by Lorna Filby, Head of Safety, Wellbeing, Environment and Benefits, and Ed Paine from Mole Valley’s safety team, this episode explores the real risks on farm, from machinery and transport to lone working and mental wellbeing. It’s a conversation about awareness, responsibility and the importance of taking a moment to think before acting — with one simple aim: helping everyone get home safe. Presented by Seth Conway.
