Keeping Visitors Safe and Healthy at Open Farm Events
Ahead of the Summer months as you may be preparing to open your farm to the public for events or visits, please be vigilant and consider Health and Safety.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is reminding farmers about the importance of health and safety when hosting visitors. Open farm events offer a fantastic opportunity for the public to connect with farming, but it's crucial that farmers understand and implement the necessary measures to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. This includes managing risks associated with animals, farm machinery, and providing adequate hygiene facilities. The HSE highlights available guidance and an industry Code of Practice to help farmers create safe and enjoyable experiences for all.
