British Farming Awards launches 51AVÊÓÆµSafety Award

The category, which is sponsored by RABI, is also being supported by the Lawman family, in honour of Andrew Lawman who lost his life at the age of 35 in a farming incident in May 2023.

The family want this award to raise the profile of farm safety, encourage everyone to think about how they can work more safely, make a positive difference on farms, and potentially save lives.

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony, which will be held at The Vox in Birmingham's NEC on October 15, 2026.
