CXCS – Practical Health & Safety Support for Farm Retailers

At CXCS, we help farm-based businesses meet their health and safety responsibilities with confidence. With over 15 years of hands-on experience supporting agricultural and rural enterprises, we understand the unique challenges that come with running a farm shop, pick-your-own site, visitor attraction, or other farm retail operation.

We know that health and safety can often feel like a burden – especially when you’re balancing day-to-day operations, staff management, and customer experience. That’s where we come in. Our approach is friendly, straightforward, and rooted in real farming environments. We work with you to build practical, legally compliant systems that protect your people, your customers, and your business – without adding unnecessary complexity.

Our services include:

• Fire Risk Assessments – Comprehensive assessments to help you meet your legal obligations, reduce fire hazards, and protect staff, customers, and property.
• On-Site Health & Safety Audits – A comprehensive review of your current systems, helping you spot gaps, avoid fines, and create safer working environments.
• Health & Safety Policy Development – Clear, customised policies that reflect how your business really operates – not just generic templates.
• Training & Staff Inductions – Including practical toolbox talks and training sessions for seasonal workers, permanent staff, and family members involved in the business.
• Ongoing Support & Advice – We don’t just drop off a folder and walk away. Our team is on hand year-round to support you as regulations change or your business evolves.

Why choose CXCS?

Unlike generic health and safety consultants, we specialise in agriculture and rural businesses. We understand the realities of running a farm retail site – fluctuating footfall, seasonal staff, unpredictable weather, and often limited admin time. That’s why our support is designed to be accessible, realistic, and genuinely helpful.

We’re proud to work with a wide range of farming businesses across the UK – from family-run farm shops to large-scale operations with diversified offerings. Our clients value our proactive approach, clear communication, and in-depth knowledge of the agricultural sector.

By partnering with CXCS, you’re choosing a team that:

• Speaks your language and understands the sector
• Helps you meet legal obligations without unnecessary red tape
• Puts the safety of your staff, visitors, and business first
• Works with you, not just for you

Whether you’re just starting out or reviewing your existing systems, we’re here to take the stress out of complying with health and safety legislation and give you peace of mind.
