A UNIQUE safety project is being held in Nantwich to reduce the number of injuries on farms.

The Safety Awareness Day is being staged at Reaseheath Agricultural College outside Nantwich.

The event is being organised by the Health and Safety Executive and is similar to dozens being held around the country.

Farmers who have had little contact with the HSE from around the county are invited to attend the event.

HSE Inspector, Nic Rigby, commented: "The Safety Awareness days are a new concept and we have run successful events elsewhere in the country."

Those who cannot attend will be subject to a visit from a HSE inspector to check on health and safety standards.

The event is to take place on February 21.
