Yeah I dont know farm specifics but its treated as a workplace. On a building site for example if someone goes onto the site in the weekend (breaks in or just being nosey) and falls down a hole or skewers themselves on some exposed reinforcing, the builder is in the gun for not covering the reo or hole etc.
They may well have very limited/no liability but its the fear it generates that causes issues I guess. Enforcement of safety is a fairly recent thing on farms so fear of the unknown?
