Farm safety conference announced for County Show

South West regional insurance company Cornish Mutual will host a Health and Safety Conference at this year’s Devon County Show in support of the Farming Community Network.

The Health and Safety Conference will consist of a series of free 20 minute seminars which will take place throughout Thursday and Friday during the show.

The conference will provide a unique opportunity for those in the industry to gain a wealth of up-to-date information. There will be a range of presentations on key health and safety issues currently affecting the agricultural industry, with the opportunity to chat with all of the speakers who are there to help with any advice you may need.

Alan Goddard, Managing Director of Cornish Mutual, said: “We have been driving a programme of practical and informative health and safety days across the South West for many years. This conference aims to offer a bite-size version of these popular events, giving people the choice of which sessions they would like to attend. The seminars are open to our Members, as well as non-members, and we look forward to sharing knowledge and experiences with those in the farming community.”

The seminars will start at 10am and run throughout the day until 5pm. Visit the Cornish Mutual stand at 199 on Avenue C.

Cornish Mutual will also be running the conference programme at the Dorset Show on 3 and 4 September 2016.

The insurer has more than 24,000 Members across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, and is the only general insurer based in the South West offering insurance to farms, businesses and individuals.
