Curious to hear how widespread this is as for the first time in many years no inspection here for this season yet. I remember Clive mentioned he hadn't had one for a year or two. Got me thinking they are likely getting hit by the recruitment troubles also.

I didn't have an inspection last year (usually November), but had one last month, new inspector which I was slightly concerned about!

Luckily I had my new sprayer store signs, fire extinguisher, first aid kits, eye wash station, H and S plan and emergency plans or whatever they were all ready for him!

Always had mine in February without fail. Getting inspected next week. Definitely having staffing problems. I think a lot of inspectors are just as fed up with it all as farmers.

Yes 3 weeks ago. Had a new auditor this year aswell. My stickers are in date till October. I’ve not had final confirmation that they are happy with my non conformance alterations yet.

I should have had mine back in November but didn't hear anything, He rang me a time or two back in April, I think, but I was unable to answer🤫.
I was going to tell them to stick it anyway but for beet I'll have to continue.

My stickers are valid until next may and if he suggests a visit over harvest or autumn drilling he can go swivel. I'm not loosing a day to them when Im busy, I've waited for them and now they can wait for me.
