Raw Material Intake Procedure

The overall aim of this guidance is to ensure that collections and deliveries from supplier to DN Mills are maintained through the current COVID-19 situation. With an increased seasonal demand for feed, the need to maintain capacity through this supply chain is crucial. This information has been taken from the AHDB guidance for combinable crop deliveries and collections dated the 20th March which has been collated by industry working groups and trade associations. GUIDANCE FOR ON FARM, PORT AND STORE COLLECTION The NFU have produced a comprehensive set of guidance and helpful information for growers that can be found on their website. Key points from the NFU are as follows: • Visitors, deliveries and collections on farm: Avoid direct contact with new entrants on farm. Ensure hands are washed thoroughly before new entrants come onto the farm and use of PPE where necessary. • Ensure that all surfaces that may be shared by entrants onto the farm are cleaned before and after use to prevent spread of the virus. • Consider biosecurity protocols such as cleaning types of equipment which uses hands. • Communal rooms and toilets for farm staff- ensure there are handwashing facilities available. • It is important where possible that we, the supply chain, work together. In the event grain lorry capacity is tightened, if your business is able to give flexibility for grain loading times this will help ease tightness. SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR DRIVERS The Road Haulage Association have produced specific guidance for staff in the transport sector. Key points from this document are outlined below: • Frequently clean and disinfect objects and surfaces that are touched regularly, using your standard cleaning products, this includes areas inside the cab and any external areas that are at risk of contact by third parties. • Use facilities at end destination for washing hands and sanitising. • Follow all rules and instructions given at the end-receiver site. • Ensure all contact with third parties follows official government guidance when en-route to end destination.
