No one wants an injury to themselves or any workers, visitors or family members. But the reality is, you do need to back yourself up with effective farm safety arrangements to protect workers, family and your business.
If you are ever charged with breaching the WH&S Act, having a safe culture and routines in place can give your lawyer some mitigating evidence to help defend you.
It’s not all about paperwork! Record keeping is a good habit to foster but often it’s not the priority item to be addressed on a farm.
"Karen's knowledge and understanding of running a farm was very important. She was able to explain issues very well. I was very daunted and kept putting off the farm safety aspect of our business because I just didn't know where to start. Karen has set me on the right path and has given me confidence to address this area. Thank you."
"Karen, you have done an excellent job. You understand the farming practice & what it entails and have put this safety program into a matter of relating to it with a clearer picture rather than lingo that is hard to understand. You are also very very approachable. Thanks!"
"Karen has been so good to work with she makes up-skilling very easy. Her knowledge and enthusiasm makes things easier and is practical. Thanks Karen!"
