The UK is home to 250,000 manufacturing businesses, most of which range from small to medium sized. Manufacturing businesses are often described as the lifeblood of the UK economy, operating across diverse sectors, from automotive to food and drink production – and everything in-between.

At NFU Mutual, we recognise the unique risks manufacturing businesses like yours face. That’s why our risk management solutions for manufacturers will help to protect you, your employees and your business today, and for years to come.

We understand that running a manufacturing operation can be both rewarding and challenging. It can often involve long hours and complex tasks in fast-paced environments, to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. Providing a safe and happy environment for your staff and customers takes effort to sustain and deliver consistently – and to help you meet your health and safety obligations, it’s important to work with experts.  

NFU Mutual Risk Management Services Limited (RMS) are on hand to provide expert advice, cost-effective support, and practical recommendations. The team can also provide bespoke health and safety audits, staff training and tailored programmes – all in the name of making your workplace a safer environment for all.  

NFU Mutual RMS Consultants have experience helping manufacturing businesses navigate the challenges and risks that occur frequently within the sector. They will work with you to address common health and safety issues, including slips, trips and falls, machinery hazards, and manual handling, to ensure your business remains a safe place to work and visit.   

Complying with regulations, particularly on health and safety

Regulatory compliance can be managed, and with the right help and advice, it needn’t be complicated or time consuming.

If you’re wondering whether you need support to manage your organisation’s health and safety risks, then it can help to consider these questions: 

• Are you aware of your legal health and safety obligations? 

• Does your business have an up-to-date health and safety policy?

• Have you carried out all necessary risk assessments recently – and can you evidence this?

• Do you keep up to date with changes in health and safety law?

• Are you confident that your business is a safe place to work or visit?
