Farm Safety Survivor Series: The Risk of Slurry Gas Poisoning

The second 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), focuses on the safe handling of slurry.

In today’s podcast, Agriland news journalist Rubina Freiberg speaks to Mervyn Clendenning from Co. Longford who was overcome by slurry fumes in 2021, and Health and Safety Authority (HSA) inspector, Jason Murray.

Clendenning had just let the cows out of the parlour after milking when his contractor started agitating. After noticing a smell, he went to leave the parlour but collapsed and fell down the stairs, cracking his head off the concrete floor.
