## Protecting Farms Through Compliance-Led Electrical Services

Electrical compliance plays a critical role in protecting livestock, employees, equipment and business operations. Equinox Contracts provides specialist agricultural compliance services designed to help farms and rural businesses maintain safe, reliable and regulation-compliant electrical systems — all carried out in accordance with BS 7671 Section 705 — Agricultural and Horticultural Premises. From agricultural EICRs and stray voltage testing to farm assurance and Red Tractor audit support, we help farming businesses stay compliant, insured and operational.

## Agricultural Compliance Specialists

Agricultural environments require specialist electrical knowledge that goes beyond standard commercial experience. Farms face unique risks including moisture, corrosive wash-down conditions, heavy equipment loads and hazardous dust atmospheres in grain stores and feed areas. Raised on the land, Equinox Contracts brings genuine agricultural understanding to every inspection and compliance project — identifying risks that only become apparent with practical farm experience.

## Helping You Stay Audit & Insurance Ready

Many agricultural businesses require documented inspections and certification for insurance, farm assurance and compliance purposes. Equinox Contracts provides clear, professional reporting designed to support Red Tractor and farm assurance audits, insurance inspections and ongoing maintenance planning. Our documentation is structured to give farm owners and managers confidence that their electrical systems meet the standards auditors and insurers expect to see

## Proactive Rather Than Reactive

Routine inspections and preventative maintenance help identify developing issues before they become disruptive or expensive failures. Our structured approach helps farms, rural businesses and agricultural landlords maintain safer working environments, reduce unexpected downtime and stay ahead of compliance obligations — whether that's a single farm building or an entire estate portfolio of tenancies.
