Spotted by Hugh Miller. From the Belfast Telegraph:
A pensioner died after she was crushed to death by a cow on the farm where she lived. Violet Breen (67), an office worker from Fermanagh, was killed during an agricultural accident as she was tending to the animal near her home on Monday.
While exact details of her death are not known it is understood Mrs Breen was calving the cow when the incident occurred. The Health and Safety Executive has launched an investigation to establish the circumstances of her death...
Crikey! Are not even office workers safe any more?
Elevate their cause?

Oh God, not more guidelines being issued on the hoof? More risk assessment crap required?
Must be an interesting job description, but perhaps they meant orifice worker?
"Violet": how nice. I'd have guessed that no-one younger than 90 was called Violet. Of course, that may now be true.
Should have carried one of these. Looks like the answer to all that bovine unpleasantness.
