SOUTH West rural insurance company Cornish Mutual has announced a trio of free information events as part of its ongoing campaign to highlight health and safety and cut the number of deaths and serious injuries in agriculture across the region.
Workshops will give farmers and others in the industry a wealth of up-to-date information and the opportunity to share experiences with fellow members of the community.
Delivered by Cornish Mutual with support from experts, the half day event will run between 9.30am and 2.30pm on November 25 at Hatherleigh Market.
Those attending will experience practical demonstrations identifying on-farm risks and how to manage them and there will be information available to ensure guests are kept up-to-speed with changes in the law, insurance, regulations and best practice from local businesses.
Alan Goddard, managing director of Cornish Mutual, said: ‘We have had a tremendous response from those coming to our health and safety events this year. There is a huge appetite within the agricultural community to meet and take part in practical demonstrations which help people keep up to speed with health and safety issues.
‘I would encourage people interested in attending to sign up early as the events get booked up within a few weeks.’
