Maintain legal compliance

Many employers and self-employed individuals in the agricultural industry could unknowingly be in breach of the law by failing to properly inspect their machinery.

According to Geoff Martin, chairman of CFTS — a leading accreditation body for Thorough Examinations in the agricultural, industrial, and construction sectors — businesses may be overlooking essential steps in maintaining legal compliance.

“Come and see us at LAMMA 2025 on the 15th and 16th of January at the NEC Birmingham. You’ll find a warm welcome at stand 120, where we’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do to meet current regulations,” says Mr Martin.

By visiting the CFTS LAMMA stand, you’ll find out how you can:

• Ensure your equipment complies with LOLER (lifting mechanisms) and PUWER (safety-critical parts like brakes, tyres, and steering).
• Avoid the risk of non-compliance, prosecution, and financial penalties.
• Understand the difference between routine maintenance and legally required inspections.
• Get peace of mind knowing your operations are safe and fully certified.
• Discover how CFTS’ nationwide network of accredited providers offers support, guidance, and full transparency in their inspections.
