"I never thought it would happen to me."
The first episode of the limited 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 safe livestock handling.
In today’s podcast, Agriland news journalist Rubina Freiberg speaks to beef farmer Mick O’Dea from Co. Laois who was seriously injured in a bull attack in 2019, and Teagasc health and safety specialist, John McNamara.
In September 2019, O’Dea was loading cattle when a bull followed him into the lorry and struck him three times, knocking him down onto the floor of the lorry.
