Health & Safety
To ensure a safe working environment, our company complies with the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, the primary legislation covering occupational health and safety in the UK.
This requires us to meet health and safety obligations, including providing adequate training, welfare provisions and a safe working environment that is properly maintained. We are also committed to ensuring that our employees understand and adhere to health and safety procedures. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the governmental body responsible for enforcing workplace health and safety legislation in the UK and we recently featured in their 2023 summer campaign: Work Right Agriculture – Work Right to keep Britain safe.
Our company is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of health and safety for all employees. In 2024 the company received their first Health & Safety accreditation, a ROSPA Silver Award for the health & safety performance in 2023. The business has external health & safety audits undertaken, to ensure that the health & safety of our employees are met and to the highest standards.
We recognise the importance of managing health and safety in the workplace, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for everyone. This includes regular risk assessments, appropriate provision of information, and maintaining a culture of open communication regarding health and safety matters.
We believe that everyone has a role to play in maintaining a safe working environment. Therefore, we encourage all employees to actively participate in promoting and maintaining health and safety in the workplace. By working together, we can create a secure and healthy environment for all.
