Landkreditt and Norges Bondelag are behind a new HSE award that rewards 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.
In addition to a lot of honours, NOK 50,000 will be awarded at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Farmers’ Association in June. The price is taxable for the recipient. The award can be given to farmers or organizations that have taken damage prevention measures with regard to mental and/or physical health. The deadline for registering candidates for the award is 20 May.
