Most farm and estate businesses engage contractors to help them with specific tasks or seasonal work. It’s a legal requirement to ensure the safety of contractors and their employees, including any sub-contractors and their workers too.
We have set up Rural Compliance Solutions (RCS) to relieve our clients of the adminstrative task of vetting their contractors and making sure they take safety as seriously as they do. Lightening the compliance load, saves you time, effort and money and ensures compliance with audit documentation.

HOW IT WORKS
- We undertake a complete verification process of the health and safety compliance of your contractors, and make this information available to you with regular updates.
- Verified compliance covers a number of areas including appropriate insurance, training certifications, professional accreditation as well as your contractor’s own health and safety practices.
- We reduce the admin burden for your business, saving you time and money, so you can concentrate on your business.
- We deliver peace of mind by ensuring compliance with legislation with an audit trail.
Contractor Management
Whether you are a director of a farm trading company, a partner in a farming operation or a trustee of a farm managed in hand, you are obliged to ensure that you have an effective health and safety management system in place. This duty of care extends not only to your employees but also those of your contractors.
Any business ventures such as construction projects, operating commercial property lets, event venues, shooting premises or similar diversification projects, further increases the scope of your responsibility to manage risk in order to protect visitors, residents, contractors and the general public.
Rural Compliance Solutions can help you manage your compliance obligations and mitigate those risks. Our short video delivered at LAMMA 2020 tells you more.
