Do I need a Work, Health & Safety Policy?

Probably yes, at some point.....but it's not the priority item in my opinion!

The word 'policy' is only mentioned in the Regulations as specifically required for mining, construction and major hazard facilities.

But a policy is really the rule book that gives direction to workers of what's expected of them.

Every business has a variety of basic duties under the Law, that together, are to provide management and direction that maintains the safety of those at the workplace,........ aka policies & procedures ....or rules!

For most farms, this safety journey will be a 'work in progress'.

Don't get too hung up on a Policy, it's much more important to buy a guard for your auger than spend time obsessing over paperwork.
