[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 7350337, member: 999"] Think you will find most if not all do a farm review, at least every 2 years, as it is a H&S requirement to do with ufas i think, normally done on the qt by the rep or the driver, Some firms I have worked for have given the driver a form to do the farm review, basic checks like, overhead power lines, as if there is power cables above, and a new driver goes the week before Christmas at 7am when still dark, and is electrocuted, the HSE will be around your farm like bees to a honey pot, not only that but the area will be shut down pending an enquiry, god knows what they might find other that just the accident, and not only that the farmer would prosecuted for miss management if no signs were erected, yet if it needs a sign on the farm review, the feed firm will supply sign free of charge delivered to the farm, and in most cases fit it as well again for free, Some of you seem to think that getting review is such a bad thing, far from it, the feed firm are not only looking after their own staff, but also looking after yourselves as part of the service, other things like having to go among livestock to fill a bin, the feed firm will leave some extra pipes on the farm to the bin, so driver does not have to go among the stock, don't be so dead against a review, and most if not all feed firms will do what they can to help you overcome any delivery problems, Just a few simple things can make things safer for the driver and the farmer [/QUOTE]
