Springtime on the Farm: Mitigating Risks and Protecting Your Clients with LBU

Spring brings new life to farms but also increases risks. At Land Based Underwriters, we understand the unique challenges the farming business face during this season, including:

• Slip and falls: Wet conditions create slippery surfaces, threatening farm workers, members of the public, and delivery personnel. Even minor slips can lead to injuries and costly legal claims.
• Livestock vulnerability: Newborn lambs and other animals are susceptible to attacks from dogs or predators, which can cause emotional distress and financial loss.
• Chemical exposure: Accidental spills of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilisers can harm human health, damage the environment, and result in unwanted legal expenses. Discover more about environmental farm insurance here.
