New figures show farming is now the most dangerous job in Britain. Forty five people have died in agriculture in the last year - a significant rise - making it four times more dangerous than construction. The Health and Safety Executive tell Charlotte Smith the farming industry needs to stop accepting death and injury as part of the job.
