Farmers across Tipperary are being asked to set time aside today to review safety on their farms.
It's National Farm Safety Awareness Day – the initiative is aimed at making those who live on farms more aware of the risks.
So far this year, 13 people have been killed on Irish farms which is a 70 percent increase on the same time last year.
Over the last ten years, 178 people have been killed on Irish farms.
South Tipp IFA Chairman Simon Ryan says that educating children of the dangers is especially important.
