NFU Open Day
SPREADING THE
safety message
»»Making farms a safer
place to live and work was
the focus of the recent Farm
Safety Day organised by NFU
Mutual Risk Management
Services.
The well-attended,
interactive Risk Management
Services presentations run by
Kim Beavon covered basic
Health and Safety Management
systems and essential
starting points for business.
Issues covered were why
we manage Health & Safety,
including the potential costs
of accidents and the legal,
moral and other economic
effects of poor health and
safety. Documentation such as
Health and Safety Policies, Risk
Assessments, Safe Working
Procedures requirements
for staff training were also
discussed. The current use of
Fees for Intervention by the
HSE was also a topic which
sparked much interest among
attendees. (see www.hse.gov.
uk/fee-for-intervention/ to find
out more).
Some attendees booked
places on a subsequent
training course: “Working
Safely in Agriculture”, an
informal one day course
leading to the award of a Level
2 Vocational Qualification for
those who complete the short
end-of-course assessment.
This course, organised locally
by NFU Mutual agencies, has
received excellent feedback.
