Purple Sprouting Broccoli (PSB)
Riverford Specification
Health & Safety
PSB is harvested using knives, which are kept sharp for ease and efficiency of harvesting. Due to this, care must be taken when using them. Gloves can be a slight barrier. Please remember to not put your knife your crates as this can injure someone.
Baddaford is a steep farm, with some fields having large stones amongst the soil. Appropriate footwear should be worn to help avoid slips, falls, or turned ankles.
Crates can get heavy, especially when it has been raining. Don’t lift more weight than you feel comfortable and ask for help if something feels too heavy. Use good lifting practices (https://www.hse.gov.uk/msd/manual-handling/good-handling-technique.htm)
