[QUOTE="student101, post: 4318074, member: 42372"] I`ve worked on a few farms of different sizes as well as having worked in other industries , one thing that stands out on farms is the lack of worker facilities on farms , some did not even have a toilet for staff ! (incidentally this is illegal ), I dont understand how farmers expect workers to be content when they dont offer a room with basic facilities such as a table,chairs, microwave , kettle and fridge and of course somewhere to ***p and wash your hands., remember workers often spend half their lives on the farm. I guess some farmers conveniently forget that when they have a break and go into their warm comfortable farm house with all mod cons the workers workers are sat on a bale in the cow shed? What do you offer your workers? HSE say [SIZE=5][B]"Toilet and welfare facilities in agriculture[/B][/SIZE] If you employ anyone (however short the period) you must provide adequate and appropriate welfare facilities for them while they are at work. ‘Welfare facilities’ include: [LIST] [*]clean, well-ventilated toilets; [*]wash basins with hot and cold (or warm) running water, soap and towels (or a hand dryer); [*]portable toilet and washing facilities for workers working away from base; [*]changing facilities where special clothing is worn; [*]drinking water; and [*]somewhere to rest and eat meals."
