Farm Regulation & Compliance
It is a well-known fact that agriculture within the UK has the worst fatal injury rate of any industrial sector. If you are a farmer or farmworker, you are 20 times more likely to killed while at work than in any other industry, and there are no clear signs of improvement. To put this into context, if construction had the same fatality rate as agriculture, it would mean 251 workers would lose their lives per year.
As a direct result of the latest 2020/2021 HSE statistics where a further 49 deaths were recorded in agriculture, assurance schemes such as Red Tractor and LEAF have introduced an element of health and safety into their requirements. The need to be compliant has never been more important, as it not only a case of keeping yourself, your workers and the public safe, but it now has an even bigger effect on your farming balance sheet.
With all of this in mind, Cornish Mutual have partnered with key businesses to help our Members better mitigate their risks and stay compliant through this transitional period in agriculture.
