HE Health and Safety Executive for Northern
Ireland (HSENI) is reminding farmers of the
simple safety measures needed to stay safe
when working with slurry.
The warning comes at the start of the slurry
season, which begins at midnight on January 31.
The mixing of slurry comes with many risks as it
produces a dangerous mixture of gases, including
methane, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and the
extremely poisonous gas hydrogen sulphide.
Camilla Mackey, Principal Inspector of HSENI’s
Agriculture and Food team, said: “It is that time of year
again when our farmers start to prepare to empty their
slurry tanks, some of which have lled up completely
over the winter months.
“Farmers will be considering a whole host of issues
before they even start mixing and emptying slurry
tanks, such as whether they can do this particular
job themselves or do they need to hire in a contractor,
