Broad Acre Farm Safety

The Most Dangerous Thing On-Farm Is What You Ignore

Health & Safety Support For Farmers.

Introduction

I'm Karen Baines, the owner of Broad Acre Farm Safety and the person that you will be working with, should you choose to enlist my services.

I run a cropping and sheep enterprise with my husband and son on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, and enjoy helping my fellow farmers navigate farm safety and other regulations that affect our business operations.

I’m a mother of two and passionate about Agriculture and equity of services within our region.

My safety management journey began within the fishing industry in 2003 and has since evolved into a broadacre grain and livestock safety consultancy business.

I have Diplomas in Occupational Health and Safety and Rural Business Management and am an experienced administrator.

Simple farm workplace health and safety arrangements

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. 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.
