Health and Safety in the Countryside

Home Page

 

The countryside is one of our greatest assets and with a large amount of people work and visit it each year accidents are bound to occur.

Countryside Safety Management is concerned with all aspect's of safety within the countryside. Taking into account all types of occupation's, sport's and hobbies.

Countryside Safety Management is offering a "No Frills" approach to health and safety. It is commited to help reduce accidents within the countryside and keep people safe.

Countryside Safety Management is looking to help and assist with the following:

 

  • Liase with customers and governing bodies to help explain current health and safety legislation
  • Write safety policies
  • Risk assessment including young person risk assessments
  • Accident/incident investigations and reports
  • 12 monthly safety audits
  • Safe system of work policies
  • Any other services concerning health and safety


In the countryside between 1994/95 - 2004/05 489 people lost their lives, in which 64 were members of the public . 32 of these were children under the age of 16.

 

 The main causes were:

  • Transport
  • Falls from height
  • Struck by moving or falling objects
  • Asphyxiation
  • Trapped by something collapsing or over turning
  • Contact with machinery
  • Livestock related injuries
  • Contact with electricity

Acording to the HSE web site, through inspections, accident investigations and results of social science research key issues to be addressed are:
 
  • A deep seated culture of unwise risk taking
  • Many are resistant to officialdom and feel that the industry is unduly burdened by regulation and red tape (Derived from Government Depatments as a whole not just the HSE)
  • Health andSafety is not yet universally regarded as integral to good farm business management
Countryside Safety Management is looking to liase between customers and government bodies to help get the health and safety message across and to make the countryside a safe and enjoyable place to be.
