This free half day forum brings together a range of sector experts and WorkSafe agricultural safety inspectors to discuss priority topics
The combination of hazards and the nature of farm work makes agriculture one of the most dangerous sectors in which to work. We bring together sector experts and WorkSafe agricultural safety inspectors to discuss priority topics and provide farmers with ideas and practical approaches for establishing good safety practices.
WorkSafe Commissioner Sally North will introduce a program of topics based on the priorities in WorkSafe’s First steps to farm safety guide, including:
- Machinery guarding
- Quad bikes and side by side risk management
- Hazardous chemicals
- Electrical hazards
- Children on farms
- Safe sheds
The forum is open to farmers and others working in the sector, as well as anyone with an interest in how to make workplaces healthier and safer, whether as a health and safety professional or a hands-on worker.
Followed by a networking lunch.
