CASE STUDIES
Rural Safety Specialists
Providing comprehensive health and safety services tailored to the unique needs of the agricultural sector. From compliance checks to implementing safety management systems, we work with you to cultivate a safer working environment.
FARMING & AGRICULTURE
Comprehensive Safety for Diverse Agricultural Operations
One of our clients is a large agricultural company with land in Lincolnshire as well as the South West of England. They have an array of operations, from arable farming and livestock to a high-tech strawberry glasshouse, leisure activities, two anaerobic digestion (AD) plants and public facing activities such as holiday lets, school visits and industry events. We provide them with expert guidance, recognising the unique challenges posed by each activity, including bespoke risk assessments and tailored safety policies.
Our proactive approach has included chairing the company’s Health and Safety Committee, which enabled us to offer continuous advice and ensure all safety measures are current and effective. This hands-on involvement led to a marked enhancement in safety compliance and awareness across all departments, significantly reducing incidents and empowering employees with best safety practices. Our services provide not just compliance but a robust safety culture tailored to the diverse needs of this expansive agricultural operation, underscoring our commitment to their success and safety.
AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
Enhancing Safety in Agricultural Engineering and Equipment Sales
Another client is a prominent UK-wide agricultural engineering and farm equipment sales business. With multiple depots across the country, each presenting its unique set of challenges and risks, we have helped them to create a unified approach to safety that was both effective and easily manageable. To achieve this, we started by conducting thorough safety audits at each depot, assessing the specific needs and risks associated with their operations. This detailed analysis enabled us to produce bespoke risk assessments and policies tailored to the particular dynamics of each location.
To streamline safety management across its widespread operations, we developed a bespoke online portal specifically for this client. This innovative tool allowed for easy access to all safety documentation and facilitated routine safety checks, ensuring consistent safety practices across all depots. The portal is instrumental in maintaining a high standard of safety compliance and allowed for real-time updates and communication regarding safety issues.
Working closely with the company’s senior management team, we are assisting them to cultivate a stronger safety culture within the company. Through targeted training sessions and regular strategic meetings, we are helping integrate safety as a core value within the company’s ethos. Our collaborative efforts are not only enhancing the safety environment but also reinforcing the company’s commitment to protecting its workforce and maintaining operational excellence.
RURAL ESTATES
Safeguarding Heritage and Hospitality on a Stately Rural Estate
Molstan have the unique opportunity to collaborate with a distinguished rural estate, renowned for its stately home and grounds that are regularly open to the public for a variety of events, including unique wedding ceremonies. Given the estate's complex operations and high visitor footfall, our task was to ensure that every aspect of the estate’s activities could be conducted safely, without compromising the historical integrity of the location. To address this, we developed bespoke risk assessments and safety policies tailored specifically to the unique characteristics and challenges of managing a large, multifunctional heritage site.
Key to our strategy was addressing the specific needs associated with the estate's wedding license. This involved detailed consultations to ensure all aspects of wedding events were covered, from guest safety during ceremonies and receptions to emergency procedures tailored to handle the large gatherings typical of such celebrations. Our team works closely with estate management to integrate these safety measures seamlessly into their event planning processes, ensuring compliance and safety without detracting from the grandeur and elegance expected by their clients.
The collaboration has led to a significant improvement in the estate's safety culture, driven by practical and useful advice that has been embraced by the staff and integrated into daily operations. Regular training sessions and updates to the safety policies keep the team well-prepared and confident in managing both the risks associated with large public events and the routine care of the estate. This proactive approach to health and safety has not only enhanced the estate's reputation as a premier event location but also ensured that it remains a safe, enjoyable environment for visitors and staff alike.
