FarmSafe is a
Cornish Mutual initiative which aims to raise awareness of health
& safety issues on farms. As an insurance company with
our roots in farming and an interest in the welfare of rural
communities throughout the South West, we take health and safety
issues very seriously and would like to encourage the reduction of
risk for the benefit of all our prospective and existing
Members.
In 2010/11 there were 8 deaths on farms in the South West so we
believe our 'FarmSafe' initiative to be very timely. We have
created this Health & Safety section of the website to provide
guidance on what farmers need to consider when ensuring that their
farming activities are compliant with Health & Safety
regulations.
We have covered a range of subjects that we believe to be
pertinent to our Members with each topic providing links to further
information.
We hope you find this information useful please note that it is
not intended to be a replacement for expert advice.
The information in this section has been checked by the Health
& Safety Executive (HSE) and is correct as of 1 December
2011.
