Workshop
Healthy Landscape | Healthy FoodManaging Work Health and Safety Risk for Agribusiness
Presenter | Abigail Hickman | Safe Ag Systems
Australian Agriculture is the leading cause of workplace related fatalities – with just 3% of the workforce we contribute 24% of the fatalities. Under Australian Workplace Health and Safety Legislation all businesses are required to have a safe system of work and an active safety management plan – many Australian farms do not, putting them at significant risk should an unfortunate accident occur.
This workshop will look at:
- Farm Safety Statistics – how does agriculture stack up
- Summary of Acts, regulations and penalties
- What do these regulations actually require farmers to do
- The common belief “ I don’t need anything because I am a single operator- I don’t employ anyone.”
- What are your options – paper based, cloud based, etc
- How can Safe Ag Systems help – the software and the app
