A new farm safety grant has been announced to cover up to 60% of the eligible cost of quad helmets. Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Martin Heydon, announced the opening of the new National Farm Safety Measure 2023 on June 21st. He said the grant will help protect everyone operating quad bikes on farms from serious and fatal injuries. 

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 places a legal obligation on farmers to ensure that plant and machinery are safe. From the 20th of November 2023, it will be mandatory for all operators of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV /Quads) to undergo training and to wear PPE, including a helmet, when using quads for work. 

The Measure will be open from the 21st June 2023 to 29th September 2023 on www.agfood.ie . The maximum amount of aid is for two quad bike helmets. The grant aid will be at a rate of 60% subject to a maximum eligible cost of €150 per quad bike helmet.
