Farm Health & Safety and Nutrient Management, built around your farm

We give you the confidence to farm safer, farm better and worry less

Intro background

We provide farm Health & Safety and Nutrient Management Planning to farms, estates and agricultural contractors across England and Wales. Practical, independent advice, written for your farm by advisers who know how a farm works. So you always know you’ve done things right.

Farming is complex. But you don’t have to do it alone

Compliance keeps growing and the cost of getting it wrong is serious. So we support you every step of the way.

Most farms come to us with an immediate concern: an inspection letter, a new member of staff, a student placement or an accident close to home. We deal with it quickly, then stay alongside you with ongoing support built around your farm.

Take one or more of our services or support schemes, paid annually or monthly to suit you. We don’t sell fertiliser, machinery or insurance. Only independent advice.

Because a folder alone won’t improve your farm

We’ve seen the tick-box approach: a template with your farm name added, put in a folder and left on a shelf. Nobody reads it and nothing changes.

We do the opposite. Your Health & Safety risk assessments are written from what we see on your farm, from overhead power lines and chemical stores to your tractors, silos and ladders. Red, amber and green priorities show what needs attention first, and we come back to work through it with you.

Nutrient Management Planning works the same way. We go through your plan with you, field by field, until it makes sense and you know what to do.

What we do

Most customers start with one service and add others as their needs change. Around two thirds use more than one.

Farm Health & Safety keeps your people safe and your farm ready for an HSE inspection. You get a named adviser who knows your farm, a Health & Safety plan written for it, four on-farm visits a year and staff training in your yard.

Nutrient Management Planning tells you what to apply to each field, where and when. Your plan is written by independent FACTS qualified advisers from your soil analysis, cropping, livestock numbers, manures and imported organics.

Our services:

How we work

  • Four visits a year, timed around your farming calendar: e.g Lambing, drilling, harvest, students arriving, winter maintenance.
  • One adviser. The person you meet on the first visit is the person who comes back, with a direct number, not a switchboard.
  • People who have farmed. Every adviser has a background in agriculture and knows how to talk to the people on a farm.
  • Independent. We don’t sell fertiliser, machinery or insurance. Our advice is the only thing we sell.
  • Monthly payment option or upfront fee, whatever works best for your business.

Who we work with

Health & Safety: dairy, mixed livestock and arable farms, estates, agricultural contractors and diversified farms nationwide. It matters most where you have employees, seasonal workers, contractors or the public on your farm.

Nutrient Management Planning: livestock farms and farms taking in digestate, biosolids or poultry litter. We help you put valuable inputs in the right place at the right time.

Why choose 4R Reassurance?

4R Reassurance is part of 4R Group, which has worked in agriculture and organic waste recycling for more than 20 years. Our advisers are FACTS qualified and we deal with the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and the HSE on your behalf. The two sides of the group stay separate. We never use a Nutrient Management Plan to move material onto your land.

Your questions answered

What does 4R Reassurance do?

We give farmers the confidence to farm safer and farm better. Our services include farm Health and Safety and Nutrient Management Planning, plus soil and manure sampling, farm assurance support, carbon footprint auditing, HR support and first aid training. Services can be bought individually or as a farm support package paid monthly.

Where do you work?

Our offices are in Knottingley in West Yorkshire and Newent in Gloucestershire. But our advisers are based all over England and Wales.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of your farm, the number of staff you have and which services you take. Everything is fully quoted before you commit. Most of our customers pay monthly by direct debit to help with cashflow.

I have an inspection coming up. Can you help?

Yes. A good number of farms first contact us with a date already in the diary from the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, the RPA or the HSE. Call us and we’ll tell you honestly what can be done in the time available.

Do I have to sign up for everything?

No. Take one service or a combination of services. Most farms start with Health & Safety or a Nutrient Management Plan and add other services later.

Do you sell fertiliser or spread material on farms?

No. 4R Reassurance is independent. Our advice is not tied to selling you an input, and we do not use your plan as a route to place material from elsewhere in the group.
