I am looking to produce a guidance sheet to help farms comply with Health & Safety, I have already got some information from the HSE but wondered if anyone else had carried out this project before, or had information or support that I could use.

Presumably you have a full set of the HSE free Agricultural Information Sheets and the other publications listed in their catalogue. I would also try talking to their National Interest Group who may be aware of other sources of guidance.

We have used the free HSE publication Farmwise (MISC 165) as a starting point in raising awareness amongst our farm staff. There is a fair bit of useful infromation.

One size does definitely not fit all.
Are we dealing with a family livestock farm in the west or an all arable farm in East Anglia?
Is it mechanised or does it rely on contractors for machinery?
Farmwise is a useful book if it fits your farm
The real problem with farm safety is the one man band who has not got another pair of hands,or even a third hand, to help at critical times.

Hi
I'm one of the instructors on the H.S.E.'s
(FARM WISE ROAD SHOWS)
The organiser is Dave Gould (Nottingham H.S.E. office)(0115 9712800) He may be worth a call to determin the areas that the accident statistics show need addressing.
On the road shows we cover
falls fom height
pestisides
manual handling
telliscopic handlers
p.t.o's
entangelments( with say blockages)
quad bikes
animal handling
hitching and unhitching equipment
etc.
All the above are in the MAJOR INGUARY CAT. that the H.S.E. are conserned about.
As you seam to be covering a broad cross section of farms there does not appear to be a simple answer, but on the 'Events' the feeling that we (the instructors ) get is that the main causes of accidents are-
phycoligical (?) (it won't happen to me)
lack of finance to do maintainance
ignorance
lack of time
hope this is helpfull
feel free to E-mail with any spesific conserns.
cheers
Jerry
