BlueBarn realises that it is likely to have an impact on the local environment in which it operates. It is our POLICY to ensure we operate so as to limit any adverse outcomes so far as reasonably practicable. We will always aim to preserve or better still improve the prevailing ecosystem.

At the same time we adhere strictly to all necessary health and safety at work procedures and expect those standards to be met by all our subcontractors, visitors and helpers. They are also required to adhere to the relevant environmental legislation and regulation as a minimum standard and where possible conduct themselves in a way so that their performance and results exceed both the legal requirements clients’ expectations.

In the event of an environmental accident or incident at work BlueBarn will report the incident promptly to the appropriate authority and landowner, assist with investigations, and any remedial action required to make good any damage done or foreseen.

In the execution of the services provided BlueBarn aim to use the minimum of intervention to achieve the requirement. To that end small machinery is preferred, grass tyres will be used as opposed to more aggressive agricultural tyres or tracks. Hand tools will be used where possible but where mechanical assistance is preferable and balanced decision will be made for their use.
