Safety is the responsibility of everyone, whether they work, live or visit your farm. However, it’s up to you to put systems in place to help them understand where the risks lie, and how to minimise them. Developing a basic Work Health and Safety (WHS) plan can be a simple process, and this document provides some tips on what you need to think about – and write down. Good health and safety is a great investment. Having written proof that you’ve done all you can to deal with hazards can help to protect you if an incident does occur, and developing a culture of safety makes your business more productive.
