With Landbruket’s HSE prize, Landkreditt and Bondelaget will reward a farmer or organization that does something extraordinary to take care of the farm’s most important resource, namely the farmer’s own physical and mental health.

Agriculture’s HSE award will honor individuals or organizations that have actively contributed to raising the standard for safety and well-being on the farm. It could be to adopt innovative solutions to make the farm a safer workplace, or to contribute positively to the working environment of farmers in their district.

– The farmer and the farmer’s family deserve a safe environment on the farm, both as a workplace and as a home. We need to reduce the number of accidents in agriculture, and HSE work is central and important. We believe that those who are the best at HSE in agriculture deserve their own prize, says Arthur Salte, board member of the Norwegian Farmers’ Association.

The award can be given to farmers or organizations that have taken damage prevention measures with regard to mental and/or physical health.

– With the award, we want to showcase the good and creative work that is done in agriculture, which can be good examples for others to follow. The award should be a recognition of those who go ahead and set a higher standard for HSE, says Linda Stubsjøen, damage prevention officer at Landkreditt Forsikring.
