• Ensure that all required documentation is complete, up-to-date, and easily accessible for regulatory audits or inspections.
• Support implementation of environmental stewardship programs aimed at minimizing the farm's ecological footprint and promoting sustainable practices.
• Develop, implement, and enforce health and safety policies and procedures to ensure a safe working environment for all farm personnel.
• Conduct inspections and risk assessments to identify hazards and address them promptly.
