Staff Induction Training in Health & Safety

The Teagasc Pig Department in conjunction with the Health Safety Authority and FBD Insurance have launched a Pig Staff Induction Module. This is the first time an online module has been developed for the Irish pig sector that allows new and existing farm staff to undertake learning on their own farm. It allows users to interactively learn about pig production best practice and safe farming health & safety protocols.

We are very excited to respond to a need of the Irish pig sector by launching this online module. It will provide an innovative tool in an interactive format for pig producers and their new staff. We plan to add a suite of further modules to this platform in due course.

The module is freely available for all pig producers on the Teagasc Pig Webpage at the following link:
