This article shows how HSE is planning inspections on farms throughout the year. They are doing this in a bit to increase safety.

You’ve quoted an article from a company that sells workwear which is little more than a veiled threat to buy more workwear.
@carltoncole do you by any chance work for this company???

The HSE have also stated that the workwear and PPE worn on farm will be included in their inspection. All farm workers would need to be wearing the appropriate protective equipment and clothing. All farms must have had a risk assessment in order to determine the appropriate protective equipment and clothing required. It is very important for farms to equip themselves with PPE and workwear. It is better to be too safe rather than not at all.

Pray tell what HSE deem 'appropriate' PPE/workwear on a farm?

Hardly. As I stated in another thread, I was one of the ones that won that particular lottery. They gave several weeks notice of the inspection (not just ‘turning up’) and the charge is £120/hr iirc (I escaped it, just, thankfully).
I have to do courses to prove I’m able to drive a telehandler & quad, which I have been using without incident for many years.

Bored waiting for a 'Dads taxi' run, I thought I'd look into this a little further:
It turns out that this company runs an 'affiliate' scheme https://www.siteking.co.uk/affiliates where plugging the company on social media earns the 'affiliate' a 15% commission from the price the punter pays. This is done by attaching a code to the link (1st post) that the punter clicks on, and secretly tracks who follows the link posted to the likes of TFF, and how much commission the web site pays to the 'affiliate'. In this case there isn't a visible 'unique code' visible in the link, but @Clive might have more information on the link from the back office in TFF Towers.

I put the term 'affiliate' in inverted commas, because they are known by various names. 'Social Media Influencer', is one. 'self entitled c**ck s**king parasites' is another. It may be that @carltoncole is not an 'affiliate', and merely an employee. Perhaps he would like to divulge his roll ?

Does anyone know who the people behind SiteKing.co.uk are?
