Farmers across Cavan and Monaghan can expect inspections by the Health and Safety Authority over the coming weeks.
The Authority says it will be carrying out a higher number of visits to farms during calving season.
The HSA says the increased inspection campaign over the next two weeks will focus on livestock safety.
196 people have died in farm related incidents over the past 10 years - 38 of these deaths involved livestock.
Pat Griffin, Senior Inspector for Farm Safety with the Health and Safety Authority, says having extra help is important for farmers working through calving season.
"Farmers will be asked if they have a plan to minimise the risk of attacks and whether or not they have a good physical barrier between them and the cow when they are dealing with a calf," added Mr Griffin.
"They will also be advising farmers to watch their fatigue levels and to seek help before it's too late."
