IN a bid to improve farm safety for new and existing customers, Honda UK is supporting Farm Safety Week with a month-long initiative offering complimentary helmet and gloves on the purchase of any new Honda ATV or Pioneer side-by-side (SxS).
The offer which runs from July 24 to August 24, 2017, is part of Honda’s long-standing commitment to the safe and responsible use of its products, having offered EASI® (European All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute) training, worth £180+VAT, on all purchases of an ATV or SxS for a number of years. The EASI courses aim to improve operator skills, safety levels and awareness of the capabilities of ATV and SxS products.
Farm Safety Week, running from July 24 to 28, 2017, aims to raise awareness and promote education of taking safety seriously in agriculture. 
The initiative is supported by Yellow Wellies, the Farm Safety Foundation, Farm Safety Partnerships, the Health and Safety Executive, Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland, and the Health and Safety Authority, Ireland.
Steve Morris, Head of Power Products for Honda (UK) comments: “As the UK’s leading manufacturer of ATVs, we take our commitment to safe and responsible usage 
Farm Safety Week UK and Ireland has been timed to take place alongside the Royal Welsh Show and there is one clear message this year that safety is a lifestyle, not a slogan – as farming continues to have one of the poorest safety records of any occupation in the UK and Ireland. 
The latest annual figures from the Health and Safety Executive show that out of 137 people killed or fatally injured in workplace accidents last year, 27 worked in agriculture, and that fatal injury rates in the sector are 18 times higher than the five-year average for all industries.
Honda’s offer of free ATV or SxS Rider Training is ongoing, and available on any new Honda ATV or Pioneer bought from an authorised Honda (UK) dealer. 
Please visit www.honda.co.uk or ask your local dealer for more details of either offer.
