Dying on the farm: fatality rates in NSW have not improved for more than 10 years, study shows

There are calls for more to be done to boost farm safety after a report found work-related death rates have not improved for more than a decade in New South Wales.

A research paper released today by Public Health Research & Practice found farm fatalities rates had not improved between 2001 and 2015.

About 370 people died on farms during that period with more than half being work-related.
