Agriculture

Sow safer working practices. Farming brings unique risks from machinery, vehicles and hazardous substances. Our agricultural risk specialists provide clear, practical advice, assessments and training to meet legal duties and protect your workforce.

How We Help

Farming moves fast. We shape risk management around seasonal peaks, mobile plant and dispersed buildings, so work stays safe without slowing the job. You get proportionate controls, clear responsibilities and reliable records you can use day to day.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • Health and safety risk management: Policies, procedures, audits, risk assessments, safe systems of work and site inspections with clear, prioritised action plans.
  • Project management: Support for construction works, machinery installation and changes to business processes.
  • Contractor management: Approved contractor checks, document reviews and on-site audits.
  • Fire risk management: Practical assessments and improvements for buildings, stores and yards.
  • Environmental and water hygiene: Sensible controls and records for waste, spills and Legionella.
  • DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations): Reviews for fuels, gases and combustible dust, with zoning and proportionate controls.
  • Asbestos management: Inspections, straightforward registers and practical management plans for mixed-age buildings.
  • Noise, vibration and air testing: Surveys, exposure reviews and targeted controls that protect health.
  • Training: Accredited and bespoke courses delivered on site, virtually or via eLearning, scheduled around busy seasons and tailored to your workforce.
