Inspections – timeframe and locations
The HSE began its inspection visit timetable in October and will complete it in April 2024.
Inspections will take place in the following areas:
-
- South West
- Southern Wales
- East Anglia
- North West
- East Midlands
The HSE is inspecting farms because risk in the farming workplace is often poorly managed. This unfortunately means that agriculture has persistently high death, injury and ill-health rates compared with other industries. The workplace death rate in agriculture is six times higher than in construction. It is 21 times higher than the all industry average.
The main causes of death are:
Machinery and maintenance on moving equipment
Workplace transport
Falling objects
Falls from height
Livestock handling.
The HSE is offering a fixed number of free training places to farmers in the areas where they will be carrying out inspections.
