Shepherds Health & Safety Ltd has been working with Albanwise Farming Ltd, since 2008 to provide health and safety services.

This is achieved by regular visits throughout the year and spending individual time with all members of staff from farm operatives up to MD level. Health & Safety is driven from the highest levels within Albanwise Farming Ltd, and is of paramount importance to us. We manage this through a bespoke, documented, Occupational Health & Safety Management System, which reflects the activities undertaken by the company, ensuring that workplace hazards are identified and that risks are controlled to a safe level.

Any concerns are highlighted to management by an open door policy and coupled with our regular health and safety meetings with all staff, as well as regular audits. Albanwise has an extensive regular training program for all staff within the business, and this has contributed to a very good safety record. This culture has ensured that all employees continue to develop and improve their Health & Safety Management System.
