Compliance doesn’t just relate to health and safety, it can include a range of responsibilities across the agriculture sector such as business ethics, animal welfare, traceability, and even food safety. With the agricultural industry encompassing a large role in the global economy, you can understand why standards are important to establish and maintain.
Supporting compliance and regulatory obligations in your business doesn’t just protect you, it safeguards the agricultural industry, protecting workers, guiding best practice, and in the long run, assisting you to avoid penalties and prosecution.
So, what does it mean to be compliant and what records do you need? To be fully compliant, you must adhere to the laws applicable to your industry and country as well as organization standards, codes and frameworks. Depending on your working environment, obligations may differ slightly, but not complying with legislative requirements can lead to heavy penalties and prosecution.
