Agricultural Health and Safety & Farm Health and Safety Risk Assessment Consultancy Services

Although a robust and thorough working farm health and safety policy can mitigate many farming health and safety issues, it is still a number one priority to diligently focus on health and safety in the agricultural industry with a discerning eye. It doesn’t take an expert to see that the hazards and risks of working in agriculture are significant. There are a staggering number of elements to consider, from industrial machinery and chemicals to unpredictable animal behaviour. Avensure is here to guarantee that our sharp-eyed agricultural health and safety consultancy team will locate all aspects of agriculture and horticulture workplace health and safety that need addressing at your business’s location/premises. This is essential at any time and especially so in preparation for an agricultural health and safety risk assessment.

As it represents one of the most potentially hazardous working environments, farm health and safety must be taken seriously. The primary health and safety in the agricultural industry include workers operating dangerous machinery or powering over-sized vehicles with hazardous surfaces and attachments, being exposed to hazardous dangerous chemicals or unpredictable livestock and working at height or near pits and silos. Agricultural sector workers are also constantly exposed to the effects of bad weather, noise and excessive dust.  It’s imperative that these areas are highlighted and accounted for during an agricultural health and safety risk assessment,  and that is when we have you covered. All of those farm safety risks can be identified. Many of them can be dealt with using a focused strategy to formulate a rock-solid farm health and safety policy backed by a detailed agricultural risk assessment. These things are the bread and butter of the team at Avensure, and no other agricultural health and safety consultants will work harder to highlight and diminish those risks.

As with any business or location that contains people in some capacity, agricultural sites are held to account by strict agriculture health and safety requirements and an annual farm health and safety risk assessment to ensure compliance. Avensure will dry-run that farm safety risk assessment to evaluate health and farming health and safety issues and farm safety hazards on behalf of our clients and then make recommendations on a consultancy basis. 

Avensure will provide you with all the farm health and safety support you need in the form of a highly professional, dedicated farm health and safety consultancy team who will advise you and navigate you through all of the official agriculture and horticulture health and safety guidelines which need implementing at your business premises before your upcoming farm risk assessment submission.

When it comes to agricultural health and safety, the health and safety act makes it clear that agricultural employers are responsible for all aspects of health and safety on farms and the general well-being of their staff. This also applies to anyone else who might be on their premises at any time and due to the dangerous nature of many agricultural settings it is important to speak to Avensure and let us break down the hazards and scenarios you need to consider moving forwards. We will inform you of any new additions to HSE farm safety or any amendments that need to be implemented. The health and safety in agriculture guidelines are specific and complex and we are here to smoothly lead you through all the safety measures in farm operations you must abide by.
