The Farm Safety Foundation says the pace of change remains 'far too slow'.
An average of more than five people every year died on Northern Ireland's farms in the past decade.
Stephanie Berkeley, manager of the Farm Safety Foundation, said the key message of Farm Safety Week 2023 was that farmers needed to value themselves.Ms Berkeley added that the organisation was still having to roll out the campaign because farming continues to have the poorest safety record of any occupation in the UK and Ireland.Older men at riskBoth victims were men over 60 and both incidents involved machinery.Ms Berkeley said those who died were mostly older people.
William Irvine, deputy president of the Ulster Farmers Union, said it was important to keep safety awareness high.
