Varnost in zdravje pri delu na slovenskih kmetijah

In this brochure, we present some key sources of problems and ways to improve occupational safety and health in Slovenian agriculture, as well as some "good practises" identified by the Slovenian Community of Practise (SI-CoP). This has been working since 2023 as part of the SafeHabitus project, which is funded by the European Union for the years 2023 ‒ 2026. The aim of the project is to strengthen the knowledge innovation system on occupational health and safety on farms and to support the European Union's transition to social sustainability in agriculture. SI-CoP members, including representatives of farmers, their professional organisations, public institutions, the private sector and researchers, have examined the topics of safety culture, social protection and mental health from the point of view of available data, practical solutions and their lack of consideration by policy makers. Like the work of SI-CoP, the content of this brochure is intended to inform stakeholders and the public about the working conditions of farmers and to encourage the development of measures that will help to make the farming profession more attractive.
