What is a Risk Assessment?

A Risk Assessment is basically…..thinking about, recognising and then recording the risks on your farm.

Documenting this process not only keeps you organised but shows that you have thought about what could go wrong, what you already do to reduce the risk and what you can do in the future to further improve.

I do offer risk assessment for a fee as a part of establishing an Action Plan, so contact me if you would like me to work with you to get you started.

If you want to DIY, there are lots of resources you can use to help.

Below, I have separated the quick safety scans established by Safework SA for the Farmers Guidebook. These are ‘risk assessments’ you can use. If you answer ‘sometimes’ or ‘never’, then add these items to your Action Plan so they can be further considered or addressed.
