Working in agriculture and horticulture can be dangerous…

Whether you’re dealing with animals or heavy machinery, the agriculture and horticulture industry can be risky. In fact, the industry accounts for around 19% of fatal injuries each year.

With over 12,000 workers suffering from non-fatal injuries every year, there’s lots of rules and regulations you need to maintain. Along with meeting HSE requirements, you also need to follow guidelines set out by:

  • Rural Payments Agency
  • Environment Agency
  • Animal and Plant Health Agency
  • Department for Environment
  • Food & Rural Affairs
  • Veterinary Directorate

So, it’s up to you to make sure these rules are met. You’ll need to make sure your farm and equipment are fully compliant and safe to use – and if you don’t, you could face a legal claim.

If you’d like to keep your people safe in confidence, Peninsula is here to help with agriculture HR and Health & Safety. We’ll take care of your Health & Safety policies, carry out your risk assessments, and offer 24/7 advice – whenever you need support.

Running an animal sanctuary can be complex...

We have been incredibly grateful to Peninsula for their support. Running an animal sanctuary can be complex when it comes to health and safety and we have been supported in so many ways. The portal is a great resource and keeps our documentation safe and the H&S consultant is always on hand for advice and support.
